To bee or not to bee?

    I have made up my mind when I buy a bee it will already be a minimum of 4-6 months old.

    I've seen lots of bees, and while most do turn three colors; brown/tan, yellow, and white, I've seen at least 6 that were solidly yellow and white. Their backs did not brown at all. THAT is the kind I want, but since I can't tell a baby that will brown from one that won't, I resolved to save my pennies and buy one that stayed yellow, I think I'll be well repayed by stellar babies down the road.

    Thanks for all your input so far, i have taken on board some of your opinions and suggestions so thanks to all. I am still making up my mind on him.

    I hope to get some pictures of mum and dad, when i do i will post them up.

    The breeder has also given me some additional info on the clutch, this little guy as a minimal spider wobble but is apparently a little aggresive so may explain why he has been left behind. In a way that makes me a little more attracted to buying him:rolleye2:

    I don't see much wrong with that bee; though I prefer my bees with fewer spots on them. Looks more like a true spider that way.
    I have a bee with lots of spots; some with very few and I hatched out a female with only 3 little spots. She's super clean and holding her color well. She's going to give me some stellar offspring down the road...

Ask pictures of the parents, at least it will give you an idea on how the parents turned out to be as adults. I love bees when they become adults, having 3 layers of color tones, golden brown on top, yellow in the middle, then white at the bottom. So I say, to bee! :)

    This is the mother i believe. She seems very dark, but not as dark as some i have seen.
