Yes, I'm aware of the confusion...simply pointing out the fact that Kevin (and others) have been naming spider combos "bees" for quite some time, regardless of whether or not there's pastel in them. Certainly isn't the first time this has come up...it goes right along with the argument against giving ANY combos unique names, and simply calling them by what morphs they're made of, instead.

The way I have always looked at it is if it has spider in it, it's some kind of a bee.
lesser bee
butter bee
black bee
honey bee
cinna bee
fire bee
mojave bee
stinger bee
ect.

Then there are some spider combos that aren't called bees such as anything to do with a spinner.

Certainly clears up some confusing conversations I have heard in the past! I was under the impression that anything "bee" had pastel x spider. You know, black and yellow, LIKE A BEE! Oh well, I guess the day I make something new will be the day I get make the name! LOL!

I guess this is what I was trying to say about this confusing usage. It seems like the Lesser Bee, Butter Bee, etc. were just sloppily named after the morphs they were made from.
As a theoretical example, an Enchi Mojave is a Mochi, if I create a new Enchi combo (say a GHI Enchi) without Mojave and call it a GHI Mochi the name implies that there is another gene involved and appears to follow the 'what there made of' naming convention.
