Well I know it's not in the parents. It's just weird how the babies look. And I have no male lesser/butter.

Cool. Idk, lol. I definitely don't see lesser in the parents. Very nice balls and gorgeous babies either way. Congrats!

Weird. Those definitely look like Lesser Bees

wait till after they shed then see but i see hold backs if they were mine

Those are definitely Lessers/Butters. How long of you had the female? What size was she when you got her?

I will find some pics.
I thought lesser as well.

Have you had her since a hatching? If not, there's no way to prove she's virgin.

Also isn't 9 eggs big for a first clutch?

I've had her since she was a hatchling so I know she was virgin :) And yeah I was surprised at 9 eggs, but she's also over 2100 g and 4 years old before having her first clutch. So maybe that's why? Babies will be shedding any day now. I will post updated pics why they do. [emoji16]

Is your bumble bee male a queen bee or pastel female a lesser pastel? Of course butter and lesser are more or less the same thing, just to confuse things a little more.
Or has your female been paired in the past and not layed? Which could indicate retained sperm.

This is what I see as well.
