Breeding Bumble Bee To Bumble Bee

Because it hasn't been proven that there is a homo version yet.

If you decide to go the Axanthic route, PLEASE make sure you get a quality example of the morph. Almost all of them look great as hatchlings, but the majority end up looking normal as adults. There are a few breeders that work with examples that mostly keep there color with age. IMO working with a recessive gene that might turn out looking normal as an adult is pointless. Spending the extra time and effort to find a quality example will be more than worth it in the end.

IMO I honestly think you just buy a female bee and pinstripe. In a year or so go a nice super pastel male. It would be the best bang for you buck. Keep in mind it isn't cheap for racks for hatchlings, sub adults, adults and an incubator, even home made.

Does anyone know why 2 bumblebee's are listed in the outcome of this pairing? Looks like a 25% and 12.5% chance. May just be a glitch

After that, you'll need to breed it back to a pastel axanthic again, to ensure a pastel gene from each parent, however at that rate you only need your bee het axanthic.

I would invest in the bee, super pastel, and a pastel axanthic.

A killer bee is a super pastel spider, no axanthic from what I know.

why not just say 6/16 bumblebee?

AGAIN, I must clarify I was writing in context here and if you read the posts word for word you'd see that :P I was talking about killer bee on an axanthic.

I had my mind set on what I read this morning, just buying a Pastel Axanthic for the full $1100 and waiting til next year when shes half way to size to get the bee, my question is though...

wouldn't it be wiser and cheaper to get a male so i could breed him to multiple bees for better chances of my 6.25% axanthic killer? and what is the difference if anyone knows between an axanthic killer, and a zebra bee?

Also I have thought about rack cost for hatchings and subs but its at least 2 years down the road as I wont even be able to get my Pastel Axanthic til at least tax time and I'm trying to hold of til the first month of hatching season BUT thats gonna be tough for me with money in hand.

My guess is that he(WOBP.com Mod) replaced the super spider with bumble bee. IMO, the odds on that pairing look off all together. Dur to the potential of the super spider being lethal I suggest you just pick another animal to pair with your bumblebee. Why try and make a bunch of bees when you can make a whole handful of different morphs with a different 2 gene animal involved. Just saying.

Any tips you can give on telling if an axanthic hatchling is a quality version of the breed?

Here is the thought -
If you get a MALE pastel axanthic and a female bee, then the babies you get from that, which will be het axanthic, would have to be female, and then you would have to wait 2-3 more years before you could breed em back to dad and have your chance at axanthic bee (zebra bee, god i hate that term) or killer bee axanthic.


Like I said, axanthic bee (zebra) is pastel spider axanthic and killer bee axanthic is super pastel spider axanthic.


Hope that helps.
