    bumblebee question

    this may make no sense but i want to start breeding in a couple of years and was wanting to make some bees, from what i understand once you breed a bee you can breed it to a normal and make 25% bee, 25% spider, 25% pastel, and 25% normal which would be great, correct me if i am wrong btw please, but should i get a male pastel and female spider, or male spider and female pastel, because i not sure! its confusing but if i breed someone could be lucky enough to win a free bp on me in the future lol

    Correct.


    And I'd buy a male Spider and a female Pastel. Since Pastels are known to be co-dominant, you can also make Super Pastels and Killerbees in the future. If you hatch out a male Bee, it'll take less time to raise him up to size/age and breed him to the Pastel Female and produce Killer Bees. If the Pastel was male, you'd need to raise a female Bee up to age/size to produce Killer Bees which can take three or more years. With no Super Spider (and only possible Homozygous Spiders that appear the same as a regular Spider), that'd be what I'd do. That's the quickest way to Killer Bees out of the two.

    Re: bumblebee question

    what i would do is buy a pastel and if you dont have enough money to buy a spider, breed the pastel to ur normals and sell the babys and get money for a spider thats what i would do

    Re: bumblebee question

    Or what you can do is buy the female and spend the next two - three years growng her up and learning as much about breeding as you can. Then when she's big enough you've had time to easly save the money for your male and can now breed for bee's.
