Yes I did read it, but I've realized it wouldn't bother me to buy 2-3 female bees and wait a year or so to get a male. After all they'll still be pets until they're ready to breed. Also, then when I do go into my first breeding season I will have a much better outcome (hopefully) with 3 clutches. Keep my 3 original females and pastel axanthic breed them again the following year by then the new bees will be ready that are het axanthic and we'll see where it goes from there.
