    Bumble Bee?,...

    This may be a newbie question but I would really like to know before I purchase one.

    Is there a line of Bumble Bees that don't brown out so much when they get older? Or should I go with a Co dom Bee?

    I really want a Bumble Bee but I see too many that are Gorgeous babies but full grown, they don't look bumbly (yeah thats a word ) at all color wise.

    I want a Bumble Bee,..not a Honey Bee with butter drizzled on the sides. Or is that too much to ask for.

    Look at the parents, they are the biggest clue as to how it will look when it gets older.

    Nice spiders and nice pastels will create nice bees.

    I would try and find a bumblebee that was produced from a lemon pastel, and maybe a nice high white spider. That's why its more fun producing them yourself!

    It would cost you more money but an alternative is a bumblebelly: Pastel Yellowbelly X Spider.





    I don't have a pic of an adult so I'm not positive as to how they do with the browning out you mention but I am told the yellowbelly helps them keep more of a yellow color.

    NOTE: The snake pictured is not mine. The pics came from a classified ad on KS, I think. I keep a folder with cool pics of combos on my computer for reference.

    Good luck,

    Lee

    bumble bees are a combo morph which would include any pastel line and a spider.

    bumble bees dont really "brown out" they do get a greenish look to them though. if your really wanting a quality bumble bee i would suggest that you share the ad with us here. there is many mnay members that would gladly help you pick out a bumblebee. also in my opinion a good bee will not have spots
