The only male is the spider. For some reason I have wound up with a lot of female morphs. But hopefully I once I add my butter, I can have a shot at BELs in the future, as well as some other cool combos. I hope to start out on honeybees next season (the female ghost is now 842 grams) with my initial spider/ghost pairing, then hold back a male to breed back to mom. In the future I may try for some butter ghosts (provided I get my butter, of course), some lesser bees, and maybe a spider cinny . . . still haven't decided on the cinny yet what to do. If I can ever get my het albinos up to breeding size (waiting on the female) and can produce an albino, I may breed that into the cinny. A local friend has a male '09 pastel (very nice colored one, too) that I'll be borrowing next season to pair with one of my normal girls; I offered her the entire clutch minus the pick of the litter for borrowing her pastel male, and she gladly accepted.
