    quick genetic question
    Just want to make sure I got this right.... Are the following correct???

    Pastel X Pastel

    would make:

    25% normal
    50% pastel
    25% super pastel


    ---------------------------
    Super Pastel x Normal

    Would make:

    100% pastels


    -----------------------------

    Super Pastel X Super Pastel

    would make

    100% Super Pastels?
    ----------------------------

    Super Pastel X Spider

    Would make

    50% pastels
    50% bumble bees (pastel spiders)

    I though a super pastel x spider would make a killer bee, no?
    and that a normal pastel x spider make bumblebee?

    a killerbee = superpastel spider, but a super pastel x spider would only throw bumblebees and pastels because offspring can only inherit one gene from each parent

    Killer bees are made two ways: by combining super pastel and spider or by combining bumblebee and pastel.

    you can't get a killer bee by breeding super pastel x spider...just like you can't get super pastels by breeding super pastel x normal

    So what your saying is that in order to get killer bees you would have to breed the super pastel to the spider, and breed back a bumble bee to the super pastel. In easier words Super Pastel x Bumble Bee = Killer Bee
