As stated, the Honey Bee is a Hypo Spider, and Hypo is a recessive gene. So a lot depends on how fast you want to see the morphs combine. If you breed your Honey Bee to anything other than an animal with the Hypo gene, you will get hatchlings that will at least (depending on what genes your female has) have a 1/2 chance of being Spider and all will be 100% het (heterozygous) for Hypo. Hypos and het Hypos are pretty cheap, so I would recommend that whatever female you choose to get, she be at least het Hypo (that way you'll have at least a 1/2 chance of producing visual Hypos). As for as which genes work well with both the Hypo and Spider genes, that's personal preference. My 2 cents would be Pastel, Mojave, Lesser, or Orange Dream. If you're going to buy a young female (cheapest option), buy soon because it will take her 2 to 3 years to be of breeding size.
