    An '09 female bee at 800g should be breedable for next year. Then you could save your money and get a breedable male morph to pair with her, maybe a cinnamon. Then you'd have a shot at making pewter bees, pewters, cinnabees, etc. Or get a butter/lesser: queen bees, lesser bees, pastel lessers, etc.

    If you get the killer bee male and some normal females, you'll only be making bees and pastels. Nothing wrong with that, but that's it until you get some morph females. And even if you hold back a female pastel or bee, the only thing else you could make would be more killer bees. Like I said earlier, morph females are key to making the really cool stuff.

    If it was me, I'd get the female bee. In the long run I think she'll be a better investment and give you a lot more potential. Just my 2¢

    Thanks a ton guys! @Blue Apple Herps I hear ya, I thought that too, just some info, I have the following 2010's:
    0.1 Super Pastel
    0.1 Butter Pastel
    0.1 Pinstripe
    1.0 Pewter Bee

    So I figured another male with some genes would be good, I ended up getting the male killer bee.. my plan is to try and find a female that would be ready maybe end of this year, maybe a pastel enchi or lesser etc.. and try to get the killer to breed with her, hes almost 400g and I think I can get him up to breeding size by the end of the year.. that sound about right?

    Well, since you already have some nice females, you're on your way with that. Yes, you should be able to get the killer bee up to breeding size no problem (assuming he doesn't have any whacky feeding habits).
