No more griping, very happy today.... Especially after talking with a customer of mine that had a heater in his room go out early into breeding season and he lost half his collection from over heating. He ended up with only a few clutches. A HUGE clutch hatched today, a pewter to a cinny and he hit a SILVER BULLET only to find it kinked terribly badly......

That is a sweet clutch! :rockon:
So what were the parents? Bumble x Pastel?

nice clutch, good stuff

Oh that's sad.:(

Disasters on that scale are a horrible thing to happen to anyone. I hope you mean they just didn't breed rather than they died.:eek: :( :eek: :(

I'm sorry for the poor kinked silver bullet too - are they succeptible to kinking genetically?

It's not a morph I've looked at so I am unaware on any genetic problems they might have.

Unfortunetly most did die :(
A silver bullet being a pastel super cinny is predisposed to the nose issues of the super cinnies and blacks but the kinking I believe is just a fluke.

I had a normal from a bee to normal clutch this year make it full term, I cut the egg at day 61 when all of his clutch mates were already out of the egg. I left him in there and two days later at day 63 I pulled him out. He was still alive but terrible kinked, at least 3 dozen kinks and a disformed face. His bottom jaw was actually fused to his belly. He was still alive :( I had to put him down....

Every now and then they kink up like that and I'm just not sure why.

Congratulations Neil! The supers are amazing!

Stunning! You can send that female bee over to my address whenever you want.. :)
