I just want to see if I have a handle on this too.

Bee (PpSs) x Normal (PPSS)

........PS.....pS.....Ps.....ps
PS....PPSS PpSS PPsS PpSs
PS....PPSS PpSS PPsS PpSs
PS....PPSS PpSS PPsS PpSs
PS....PPSS PpSS PPsS PpSs

PPSS - 25% normal
PpSS - 25% Pastel
PPsS - 25% Spider
PpSs - 25% Bees

Its easy with the upper and lower case P's and S's. You can see clearly that anything with a lower case letter is a visual carrier of a mutant gene and the letter dictates if its pastel or spider or in the case of Bees, two lower case letters, PpSs.

ppSs would be easy to see that is a super pastel spider in the previous square (killer bee).

Considering the absents of a super spider, would Ppss (super spider pastel) represent a regular bee or just be an absent combination?
The Ppss would be a bee with homozygous spider traits so when you do a square im pretty sure it would be Ps ps Ps ps because all genes that are s would show the trait.

for the square you just did the way i used to do it would just be

----S N
P | PS - PN
N | SN - NN

hopefully that works out when i submit but i can still tell that its 25% normal 25% bumblebee 25% spider and 25% pastel. I think it just gets harder once you start doing bumblebeexbumbleebee so you might not be able to do it the way i used to
