    Quality bumblebee?

    I'm considering buying this guy:





    How good of a quality bee is he? I like the clean, cool pattern and the deep yellow.
    Sorry about the sideways pictures.

    Here are the parents:
    1.0 Pied 0.1 Pied het Albino
    1.0 Albino het Pied 0.1 Hog Island Boa
    0.1 het Albino, 50% het Pied 0.1 Black lab

    Looks like a decent bee to me. A few darker specks that may turn more brown with age but overall pretty nice.

    To me it looks like that the parents are a bee and a normal. If you are happy with the adult bee in that photo, then id say go for it! Looks like a great hatchling

    Too dark yellow for my taste. And too many spots. I like my bees like this girl!

    The deeper yellows and oranges loose them and turn brown. Like this one.

    Re: Quality bumblebee?

    The color is pretty now, but hes probably going to brown out. As for spots, I cant stand them so I would pass.

    I think it looks pretty cool but as the others have stated, it might brown out. I know you like the intense yellow, but imagine the intensity of the colors of an adult bee! I'd hold off until you find a bee similar to the one interloc posted. Almost looks killerbee-ish

    Imo, too busy for me, I don't care for all the spots. But if you like it, go for it.
