    Pairing options

    I had started a different thread a while back about thoughts on pairing my bee with my pastel het clown. I was hoping to pair her with my enchi later in the season but I'm worried that he won't be ready. So I'm back to thinking of other options. I could put her with the butter again or the pewter or the pastel het clown. Or...wait and hope my enchi grows fast.

    I personally have promised myself that I will never breed a het to a non het so that way I dont have to deal with 66%PH. <-- Personal choice.

    I am leaning more torwards the pewter of the enchi myself.

    You already introduce the butter to her, which means you've already ruined the chance at pos het clowns.
    You should never place a recessive in after a co-dom male has been involved, if you want to call any of the offspring pos hets.

    I'd stick with co-doms now and let the pastel het clown shoot a normal or two for some hold back pastel pos hets.

    Awesome, that leaves the good stuff for us willing to venture into recessives

    She was with the butter last year. I know she could have retained sperm from then so.. I guess I'm leaning twords the pewter or holding out for late season enchi.

    My choice would be the pewter. I really like killerbees and pewterbees.

    Your right 50% sorry, must have slipped my mind, Either way I dont think I will be venturing into poss hets. I will do 100% hets but there are too many things out there to do that I dont see myself messing with poss hets.

    I will leave that up to you adventure seekers lol.
