I agree with GA BP's. I am in the process of bringing up several morph females as a matter of fact I am expecting a female pastel this morning from EdClark. I have two het albinos ready to go this year and a reduced pattern which is currently breeding with my pastel male. I want to make reduced pastels and then make bumbles from that. Usually when you buy a het female you have to by a het male too(almost free) but having a back up is a good idea. Just because you have a male morph doesn't mean he will breed. Back ups are a good idea if you have room and can afford them. But females, females, females you can't have too many!

I am stocking up on normal females now so I will be able to breed them to a pastel male and a het albino male next year. I already have 2 females over a thousand, 1 at 600, and hopefully acquiring 3 more between 600-700 in the next few weeks.

I think I am going to focus on getting some more females. and breeding them to my pastel. I'm going to look into buying an adult female and if my pastel is ready next year use them as a practice clutch while the others are growing still. I'll see about getting a spider in the spring time and raise him up. Then I can attempt to breed him with the females when he is ready. Unless I come into some money then thngs may change and i'd get the spider sooner or possibly a 1:1 spider pair? Thanks for the ideas.

im uping my females as well..i have 3 comming in all over 700 plus..and a pair of yellowbellies...someone please stop me!!!!!!!!
