Does anyone think its crazy that you can get a mystic for quiet a bit cheaper than a phantom in most cases!!! Ralphie is still selling his for 2k and up. I have seen mystics for 1k. And yes it would be a karma and it is a lucy. It's a BEL, but RDR has noted on a few of his, there is like a silverish appearence and a light pattern. But only in some cases. Pretty cool stuff. I want a phantom bee!
I don't know but it's a very good question. I thought I read that there was a resurgence of the idea that phantom and mystic might be a little different after all and lesser X mystic (as well as phantom X mojave) would be good tests.
There have been several recent threads about what leucistic to get to have the best breeding potential and lesser + mystic might be it (presumably a nice white leucistic that could still produce mystic potions bred to a mojave gene ball).
