12.5% Normal
12.5% Pinstripe
12.5% Pastel
12.5% Pastel Pinstripe (lemon blast?)
12.5% Spider
12.5% Spinner
12.5% Bumblebee
12.5% Bumblebee pinstripe (spinner blast?)

Now what about a Pastel Jungle 100% Het. Hypomelanistic? What would I get.

Unless the Bee is het hypo as well you would get:

12,5% Killerbee, 25% Bumblebee, 12,5% Superpastel, 12,5% Spider, 25% Pastel 12,5% Normal

and all would be 66% het hypo

Why would they be 66%? You only get the 66% chance of them being het from breeding 2 hets together (4 outcomes, 1 shows the trait, that leaves you with 3 others that don't, 2 of which are het, 2/3 is 66%). His would be 50% het (1 het, the other not, 4 outcomes, 2 will be het, 2 will not be, 2/4 is 50%)

Id breed it to your normals...If thats what you have...Personally you cant go wrong with anything you breed it to.

Sorry meant to say 50% possible het.

i think you should just skip breeding it and just send it to me!!! i agree that you can't go wrong with breeding this thing even to a normal. but the pinstripe might be a good idea.

I vote pinstripe!

Pinstripe is always a great option.

But I kind of think you should breed to a Fire. Spider Fireflies would be awesome.

I asked the same question in another post. I have a female bumblebee and I am looking to buy a male. According to this post I hear Superpastel and Lesser as the best options. Since I love Lesser Platinums, what are my likely offspring if I breed my female Bumblebee to a Lesser Platinum?
