To bee or not to bee?

[angllady2]

I have made up my mind when I buy a bee it will already be a minimum of 4-6 months old.

I've seen lots of bees, and while most do turn three colors; brown/tan, yellow, and white, I've seen at least 6 that were solidly yellow and white. Their backs did not brown at all. THAT is the kind I want, but since I can't tell a baby that will brown from one that won't, I resolved to save my pennies and buy one that stayed yellow, I think I'll be well repayed by stellar babies down the road.

Thanks for all your input so far, i have taken on board some of your opinions and suggestions so thanks to all. I am still making up my mind on him.

I hope to get some pictures of mum and dad, when i do i will post them up.

The breeder has also given me some additional info on the clutch, this little guy as a minimal spider wobble but is apparently a little aggresive so may explain why he has been left behind. In a way that makes me a little more attracted to buying him

I don't see much wrong with that bee; though I prefer my bees with fewer spots on them. Looks more like a true spider that way.
I have a bee with lots of spots; some with very few and I hatched out a female with only 3 little spots. She's super clean and holding her color well. She's going to give me some stellar offspring down the road...

I dont think he'll brown out badly in time. I love his patterns, specially on his head. Ask pictures of the parents, at least it will give you an idea on how the parents turned out to be as adults. I love bees when they become adults, having 3 layers of color tones, golden brown on top, yellow in the middle, then white at the bottom. So I say, to bee!

This is the mother i believe. She seems very dark, but not as dark as some i have seen.
