Can someone define the different "bee" morphs?

[Ball Clan]

I guess I'm enough of a latecomer to this that most people just use the "bee" terms as common knowledge, but I'm still fuzzy on most of them, and I can't seem to find them all defined in one place. I know they all involve the spider morph and that Bumblebee = pastel spider, but that's about it. What about killerbee, honeybee, queen bee, and others? I'll thank you in advance for your patience lol

Bumblebee = pastel spider
Killer bee= super pastel spider
Honeybee= hypo spider
Stinger bee = enchi spider
Lesser/butter bee= lesser or butter spider
Queen bee= pastel lesser/butter spider
Fire bee = fire pastel spider
Enchi bee = pastel enchi spider
Humble bee = pastel hypo spider

That's all I could think of off the top of my head!

Typically any morph with the tag "bee" will have a spider gene attached to it.

Bumblebee = Pastel + Spider
Killerbee = (Pastel + Pastel)= (super pastel) + Spider
Queenbee = Pastel + Lesser + Spider
Honeybee = Ghost + Spider
Humblebee = Ghost + Pastel + Spider
Lesserbee = Lesser + Spider

The term "Bee" comes from the morph bumblebee, which was first created by NERD, when they mixed a pastel and a spider creating a snake that had dark spidery pattern and was all yellow with high white sides, that resembled a bumblebee. Bees are a very iconic morph and it is one of the first morphs ever created. It is a beautiful display of the best of the pastel gene and the best of the spider gene. It gets the pattern from the spider and the color from the pastel.

This page can be very helpful for any other morph genetics

Well I know that the morph I want, is the fire bee (pastel/fire/spider). But I'm not sure how to go about getting one yet.

Find one from a quality breeder (much less fun)

Or you can try to make your own by having those 3 genes in your collection (much more fun)

No I want to seek out a breeder and get them all in one package. Nearly all of my favorite morphs can be produced by crossing a fire bee with a pastel.

Kick it up a notch and have a pastel lesser for your female.

A couple more I didn't see are the Black Bee (Black Pastel + Spider) and the CinnaBee (Cinnamon + Spider). Pretty self-explanatory I know.....

Also, a Zebra Bee (Axanthic + Pastel + Spider) or (Axanthic Bumblebee)

I may get to lesser eventually, but I really want the fire and spider genes to go with the pastel. I can't get firefly, superfly, and bumblebee without them. And it may not sound like much, but I've always wanted a super pastel ever since I became familiar with the morph. There would be a 25% of getting one of those also, on top of all the other possibilities.
