    I'd go with the lesser, Lesser goes great when added to anything.

    If you have been placing the male bumblebee with her, then I'd say choose a dominant morph like the lesser or the mojave, or both. If your bumblebee is young, he may have just been very quick or secretive and could have gotten her pregnant. If you choose a recessive morph, you could never be sure if the pastels and normals you get actually carry the recessive gene, or if your bumblebee is the sire and you had awful odds. You'd have the same problem if you use the pastel het ghost such that you could only be sure you have a 50% poss het ghost on the super pastels of such a pairing. Keep in mind the possibility of multiple sires.

    I would go with lesser, if you miss a lock and you put a recessive gene with her, you can't be for sure that they are 100% het.
