    killer bees??

    Hey just curious but if you breed a super pastel to a spider you should be have a chance at getting killer bees out of that clutch correct? I did this on the genetic wizard and it came out 50/50 pastel bumble bee... But the genetics under a killer bee say super pastel spider.

    Also why wouldn't you have a chance at getting spiders out of the clutch... I am quite confused feel free to chime in

    Both parents need the pastel gene to make killerbees..since its a super pastel all babies will atleast have the pastel gene. So you either get pastels or bumblebees.

    Nope to produce a Killerbee you need to breed a Bumblebee to either a pastel or super pastel

    Yep, what they said.

    The Super Pastel cannot throw both Pastel genes, only one at a time. Nice thing is you get no Normals.

    Because one parent is giving the pastel gene and the other gives either the spider or normal gene. To produce a spider it would have to have a spider and a normal gene. But the super pastel has no normal gene to give. All it can give is the pastel gene. So you would get either pastels (pastel gene/normal gene) or bees (pastel gene/spider gene).
    Does that help?

    When you are breeding a super form of anything, all the offspring will have the components of the super in them. Breeding your super pastel to a normal will result in all pastel offspring. An ivory male to a normal will yield all yellowbellies. An so on and so on. Besides, producing bumblebees is better than producing regular spiders anyways. Hope this helped, good luck.

    1 gene per trait comes from each parent. The super pastel can only give 1 pastel gene, and the spider is normal for pastel.
    Herp derp.
