The making of a bumble bee

[JLC]

Lemon or blonde pastels hold ther color better and will be a nicer bee down the line.. but if you have a ugly spider, it won't be good even with a high end pastel..

Define an "ugly spider". Some people like high white sides...some prefer the low white...some people like busy patterns, some like reduced patterns...some like the high gold, and some like darker colors.

In ALL breeding endeavors...to get the best results, one should start with the best parents....but what is considered "best" will vary a great deal from person to person.
