Bees

I want to get into bees, I think they're awesome looking, but I have a hard time telling the bees from the queen bees (reg bee, lessers, etc). The only thing I've noticed is a varied head pattern... is there other ways to tell between a bee and the queen version or killer version without lineage knowledge?

The patterns are usually very similar (depends on the combo) it is the color that gives them away

Ah ok, I'm silly I didn't even think about color lol.

I would say queen bee, as the ingredients are worth more... but on the other hand, the killerbee when bred to any thing will never produce any normals (because of the super pastel in it)

All in all I would put them very close together but I think that the queen has a slight advantage over the killer.

I know the cutting edge has advanced past the Lesser gene and they are on to other things, but to me, anything with Lesser in it will always be worth a touch more than anything with Pastel in it...even if it is Super Pastel.
