    What makes a killer bee?

    Is it a bumble bee with a pastel?

    That is a pairing that will give you a 1:8 shot at making one. A killerbee is a super pastel spider.

    Whatever combo will give u a Super Pastel Spider

    Super Pastel x Spider
    Super Pastel x Bumble Bee
    Pastel x Bumble Bee
    Super Pastel x Spinner
    ......etc

    The list is pretty long
    You just need 2 genes of Pastel and 1 gene of spider

    Incorrect. Both parents need to have the Pastel gene because Super Pastel cannot recreate itself. It only passes down one Pastel gene.

    So, Pastel x Bee would be the simplist way to get a Killer Bee.

    Re: What makes a killer bee?

    If you could I would do:
    Super Pastel x Bumble Bee
    25%: Pastel
    25%: Super Pastel
    25%: Pastel, Spider (Bumblebee)
    25%: Super Pastel, Spider (Killerbee)

    Pastel x Bumblebee is a longer shot at a killerbee but is cheaper to buy the two morphs needed to make a killerbee then the super pastel x bumblebee route..

    superpastelXBumblebee would be the fastest way to get them but a pastel X bee would also work or a bee X bee

    Super pastel or pastel is the same. Only one pastel gene can be passed on as said above so buying a super pastel over a pastel makes no difference.

    Bee has spider and pastel so both passed on. The other half being pastel give you the chance at pastel pastel spider = killer bee

    Super pastel and pastel is the same And there is a big difference in using a super pastel over a pastel. With a super pastel you have no chance of getting normals and your percentage to hit a killerbee is higher...

    Oh yes it does , yes you will still produce killer bees however your outcomes are much better with a super pastel.

    Bee X Pastel

    25.00% Pastel
    25.00% Bumblebee
    12.50% Normal
    12.50% Spider
    12.50% Super Pastel
    12.50% Killerbee

    Bee X Super Pastel

    25.00% Pastel
    25.00% Super Pastel
    25.00% Bumblebee
    25.00% Killerbee
