Exactly--just to add that the bumble bee 50% pHet axanthic would be a 2:3 chance, and the pastel pHet axanthic would be 1:3, so you should get more bees than pastels.
(This is, of course, assuming that homozygous spiders are lethal mutation.)

I assumed it would be 33.3% and 66.7% but didn't want to put the numbers and then have to remove my foot from my mouth.
Would a better way to go about EVENTUALLY breeding an Axanthix Killer just be to start with a Killer X Axanthic and come out with Pastels and Bees 100% Axanthic?

Yeah, that should give you a 50/50 chance for bees het axanthic and pastels het axanthic.
