    What would you get for a Bumble Bee male?

    I have 3 normal females and one pastel female, all about 1000 grams and I am hoping to breed them in 6 months or so (they should all be around 1200-1500 grams). I am about to buy a 700g male bumble bee. What other females do you recommend I get and what would they produce? Thanks for any info/opinions!

    Re: What would you get for a Bumble Bee male?

    Lesser
    Super Pastel
    Enchi
    Fire

    All of those would make great combos.

    I second the lesser, and all the others, but lesser/butter bees are some really outstanding animals. Firefly's are gorgeous too, if you are looking for eye pleasers. Enchi's make great combos as well, but I think the first off that list would be a lesser.

    You could always just go for the spider, and create your own bees

    I'm gonna have to look into the Lesser. I figured just using pastels would at least give me a shot at some more Bumble Bees and slight chance of Killer Bees and Super Pastels. Breeding him with a Spider would be the same as breeding him with a Pastel right (for the most part)?

    Get a super Pastel for the money it's the better option to breed .. 50/50 on most stuff.

    Pinstripe! I love spinner blasts.

    Or even better, if you can afford it, a female lemon blast -- that way you can shoot for super spinner blasts (killer blasts?) on the first breeding.

    lesser pastel. super pastel, or lemon blast.
    personally, i would invest in a lesser pastel. queen bees are hawt. so are super pastel spinners though...

    u definitely want a double morph.
