Quality bumblebee?

I'm considering buying this guy:

How good of a quality bee is he? I like the clean, cool pattern and the deep yellow.
Sorry about the sideways pictures.

Here are the parents:

Looks like a decent bee to me. A few darker specks that may turn more brown with age but overall pretty nice.

To me it looks like that the parents are a bee and a normal. If you are happy with the adult bee in that photo, then id say go for it! Looks like a great hatchling :)

Too dark yellow for my taste. And too many spots. I like my bees like this girl! http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/04/uvaguza4.jpg

See, that's what attracted me to it, is how deep of a yellow it has :)

The deeper yellows and oranges loose them and turn brown. Like this one. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/04/eruve8a3.jpg

The color is pretty now, but hes probably going to brown out. As for spots, I cant stand them so I would pass.

I think it looks pretty cool but as the others have stated, it might brown out. I know you like the intense yellow, but imagine the intensity of the colors of an adult bee! I'd hold off until you find a bee similar to the one interloc posted. Almost looks killerbee-ish

Imo, too busy for me, I don't care for all the spots. But if you like it, go for it.

I personally think he's beautiful! I'm new to BPs and just bought my first Bumblebee a few weeks ago. I love the yellow on them. I just posted a thread about how they "brown out" and people posted pics of their adult bees. You don't have to answer, but how much are they asking for him?

Here's a few of mine

Thanks for all of the input! I've got a few days to decide on it, I think they can still look good, even if they brown out a bit.

colour quality is poor. I would give it a 6/10. pattern is spotty too - Not great IMHO.

Too dark IMHO.
Here's my two for comparison.

Follow my Instagram page @Noa_Morphs

I already stated my opinion, but remember its what YOU want. All of these snakes are beautiful in their own way.
If you are going based on looks and a plan to breed it, then he is a bit too dark IMHO, but if you want him because his personality and because you WANT him as a pet then go for it. Just don't let the seller charge you too much.
I paid 350 for my male and 370 for the female for reference, and the male is het vpi line axanthic.

Our Big bee has some spots and she throws amazingly pretty babies.
My issue is with some(most) bee's is the lose all of the yellowing on the sides basically turning into brown on top and white sides but no bright yellows.

her queenbee baby

This one might be a bumblebelly, won't know until she's older and breeding, but this is a NERD line lemon pastel bumblebee at the least.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for me a bee that is brown down to the white sides is not something I'd be looking for to breed.

Would you say this is a better example of the morph? :

I actually think that as adults, a browned out bee is quite pretty. I like that bee :)

Beauty is in the eye of the beeholder indeed! I like busier pattern spiders & bees personally.

Towelie, check your pm's ;)

I agree, but from a buyer point of view I think most people would say the sire that produced that 2nd pretty bee is browned out a lot.

Will the baby brown out as much? I don't think so.
