So glad they both figured it out. She was ready though, lol. I have also put in my pastel lesser, but no visible locks with them.

Can't wait to see eggs, and then little pipping babies!!

They look awesome! Best adult bee ever!!
Good luck!

Congrats! Seeing those little heads at the end make the wait worth it!

Very cool! Best of luck!!

So basically they are going to make the most amazing babies ever?? :)

Thanks!

Tell her to come hang out with my bee, she's a tramp, maybe it will rub off, lol! She's doing hard core tail wagging (even whacked herself in the face and scared the crap out of herself lmao) and messing up the tub... you know, so it smells nice.

As long as something enchi and female from melmers makes its way into my rack eventually, i'll be happy! Haha ;)

Update: We have had several successful locks. She has locked with my enchi, and my blonde pastel lesser. I'm super excited, we had ovy about a week and a half ago, and it looks like she is heading into prelay shed now. I can't wait for little pipping faces! And, to see who's the daddy! Ovy pic-

Hello again! Didn't catch this thread at all until now, so congratulations on your successes breeding this season! :D
It's really cool just for me to see your bumblebee, the first bee I ever saw photos of, all grown up and about to be a mama - so I know you're beyond psyched.

I believe my Pastel probable het Clown female just had her prelay shed! My Lemon Blast het Clown has been working hard for months haha :P Thanks again for the rats, they've been running on them all the while!

Since we're so close to one another, maybe we can do more business or even trade some babies, perhaps? I love your bee, and would love to pick up many of the potential outcomes here. I'm sure your list is long, but if you'd bother to add my name I'd appreciate it. I may have some pretty cool stuff from this pairing, and have a Calico girl and Leopard Pastel boy I hope to introduce to one another this year.

May the odds gods bestow you with many blessings!

good luck Doo

sorry for being so late never seen the thread ...

I wish your Enchi would come show my Lesser Cinny how it's done...


So simply because this happened to me last year - do you have any other pics of the ovulation? The reason I ask is because I had distinct swelling like that and thought for sure it was an ovy, that the next shed was the pre-lay, etc. Turns out it was the pre-ov shed and she swole up like football after that shed. Surprise!

Anyway, the tail suck is really the best way to tell if it's for real or not. Was her tail totally skin and bones looking during that ovy and now it's normal again?

This is my first year breeding, so I'm learning as we go. But, she has been following the "timeline" like clockwork for me. She had the pre ov shed, and after that shed she had her "glow". Then we had ovy, it was much more visible to the eye. (It was huge and swollen), these pics didn't really get it (she also denied the boy I put in a week or so before the ovy, where she has previously been a very eager breeder). Then about 14-16 days after ovy, pre-lay shed. She was then restless for a day or two. She is now curled up in a pretty little coil on the hot side of the tub, looking very much miserable with a ridge back. :) I'm expecting eggs in about 2 weeks.
