    Question about breeding
    If you were to breed a Lesser Bee to a Spider you get this.....But what I don't understand is, you get 12.5% - 1/8 Lesser Bee and you also get 25% - 2/8 Lesser Bee. Why is it not calculated together? Is there a difference?
    12.5% 1/8 Normal
    37.5% 3/8 Spider
    12.5% 1/8 Lesser
    12.5% 1/8 Lesser Bee
    25% 2/8 Lesser Bee

    I have been breeding for many years and I never use charts because at the end of the day its a roll of the dice

    That's just the way that particular calculator works. It's calculating the odds of producing a lesser bee from the spider x lesser (from the lesser bee) and the odds of producing a lesser bee from the lesser bee itself if that makes any sense.

    In reality you would just add both together to get the ⅜ chance per-egg of getting a lesser bee.

    Since there are 2 genes at play in the lesser bee, it calculates the chances of getting:

    1. Spider with the lesser gene
    and
    2. Lesser with the spider gene

    That's why it splits them up in to two
