She explained it earlier in the thread.

Edit: Post #4 and #12 should help explain it.

Thanks for helping demjor19! Yes, that clutch actually had two sires in the end... mommy had been with a bumblebee only twice, and with a Butter the rest of the time, and apparently both males played part of the fathering of the clutch.. fun stuff!

Any updates :D

Whoops, meant to do an update! :)

Clutch 0610 is almost done hatching. 3 of the 4 have come out - all 4 are pastel! What are the odds? :) (from a normal x bumblebee).

Here are the results of Clutch 0510, a normal x bumblebee, with 2 bumblebees, 1 pastel, and 1 normal:

In case you were interested, here were the overall results of my year's breeding:

22 eggs that went to term with 10 pastels, 2 spiders, 3 bumblebees, 4 normals, and 3 butters.

Unfortunately, 1 spider, 1 normal, and 1 pastel could not digest food properly - they refused eating on their own, and when assist fed, they did not digest the food, and died :(. I had a few trouble eaters that I had to assist feed a few times, but all are now eating on their own, including a butter that I had to assist for almost two months but has now taken 6 feedings IN A ROW on his own! :)

I need to post a new pic of my first bee - he is already almost 300 grams, and is beautiful! He is a true blue avid eater - he's the biggest of this year's hatchlings right now. Gotta love watching them grow up and get big and strong :)

Those are some awesome numbers, sorry for the losses. And wow! Something about all those pastels just catches my eye. Everything looks great!
