Thinking about a trade.

So, I reciently hatched out my first two clutches. And I am looking to expand my collection. I have some nice fire females and someone interested in trading for a female bumblebee. What do yall think? And which bumblebee would you pick?

I would go for the one on the left. I love all that webbing and she's almost a blackback. Also a bit less spotty than the one on the right.

The right, I like the thinner looking spider marks on her and her head pattern. Any pics of your fires?? :)

This is the one im thinking about letting go. Does it sound like a fair trade?

I say the right one as well.

Don't look at it so much from the fair trade aspect. Look at it like this, if you trade, would you be satisfied? It's not always about looking at it from the price standpoint. Sometimes its best to look at it from the is it worth it to yourself view. I can personally say from experience that when you see something you like don't pass it up. I love black pastels, and I love them with a lot if dark. Since I've became attracted to that morph I've only seen about 5 that I like. Justin had 3, which were all gone by the time I seen, and the other was at a show. If you pass up on something you like it may be awhile until you find something else you like. The 5th was in Sean's clutch. I've seen other nice ones, but I probably would of been left unsatisfied.

I like the one on the left. Her pattern jumps at me more, and she seems at least one ioda yellower than the other. Bright, clean yellow is a very important trait when chosing a quality bee, imo.

I like the one on the right :D

I'd take the one on the right. And I second the "Would you be happy?" When deciding on a trade

That fire is fire lol. I love the reduced pattern from mid to rear. I'm going to have to agree with Neal here, if your not looking to sell then buy a bee. How fair it is would be on you, it comes down to how bad you wanna add that bee in the collection.
