would come out with same results for the butter X pastel or spider pair because

a lesser and butter is pretty much the same gene, correct?
Just to clarify something I'm not sure I am reading correctly;

If your pairing is a lesser being bred to pastel and also to a spider the you would not be able to get any bumblebees as each egg can only have two parents and if lesser (or butter ) is definately one of them then it would be impossible for both the necessary pastel and spider genes to be inherited from the only remaining "parent" slot.

Lesser x pastel - lessers, pastels, pastel lessers and normals.
Lesser x spider - lesserbees, lessers, spiders, normals.

So anything "bee" aside from the lesserbee would be a multi-generation project using only those morphs.

Now that should have confused everyone else.
