Just thinking something doesn't make it so. It either is or it isn't, and there doesn't seem to be enough information out there to say whether it is or isn't.

To answer OP's question though, I agree with the others that I'd pair the bumblebee male to the spider. If you are buying another female, any dominant or incompletely dominant mutation would be a good choice. It really would come down to your budget and personal preferences though. It's hard to go wrong when plugging bumblebee into other mutations.
