You can because the bumble bee is a combination of 2 seperate genes... The pastel gene, and the spider gene. Both the pastel and spider gene are co-dominate so when bred to a normal, 50% will pass on the individual pastel or spider gene. So by law of averages 25% of the offspring from a bee-normal will have had both the pastel and spider genes passed on thus creating a bee.
