    super pastel or bumblebee!?

    One of my friends offered me today that he will trade anyone of his 2011 bumblebees for my 2011 female super pastel. This Is a pretty big decision for me. I have a male pinstripe and 3 female pastels all ready to breed this year. I will like to hear what you guys would do in this situation. Thanks for all the help

    If you can get a female bumblebee, do it. Then you can make spinner blasts Plus, then it would add some more variety to your collection. Well... I guess that I would do it for a male bumblebee too haha. killerbees, bumblebees, super pastels....
    Herps are cool.

    One of the attractions of outdoor pursuits activities for many people is that life is reduced to the barest essentials, and in the process a more intimate connection to the natural world is established. Food that would be trashed or fed to the dog at home tastes wonderful, a cup of murky water is much appreciated, and after a few days, even a thin sleeping pad can feel like a comfortable mattress as tired bones are able to rest after a hard day's work.

    Depends if the bee is a male or female and their weights.
    If they are the same weight: Male, no. Female, yes.
    But remember, a super pastel female will have no normals when she starts breeding.

    Perhaps a breeding size female pastel for a baby bee is fair too.

    Can you give us their weights and gender?

    I would need to see pics of both. Bees are VERY variable in quality.

    Re: super pastel or bumblebee!?

    Hi,

    Honestly I'd keep the super pastel and cross my fingers I got enough offspring to be able to buy my own bee.

    Adding spider to the genepool doesn't make up for the 25% normal hatchlings for me.
