Are you looking to do a long term project to tinker and just get the experience? The reason I ask is because with the ghost male you just purchased in order to get a humble bee the female would need to be a bumblebee Het ghost in order to produce a humble bee, and quite frankly for what you would pay for a bumblebee Het ghost ... you could spend an extra 50 to 80 bucks and just buy the humble bee
Humble bee = pastel/spider/ghost genes
Bumblebee = pastel/ spider genes
Pastel is a (Co-Dominant) gene
Spider is a (Dominant) gene
Both of these genes only require one of the parents to carry the gene in order to produce the gene
Ghost is a (Recessive) gene
With a Recessive gene both of the parents need to carry the gene in order to produce a visual specimen of the gene .... there is a non visual version of a recessive gene which is called a Het .. a Het carries the gene but it cannot be seen
It gets deeper than that but I'm not going to type up a whole lesson on genetics
You have a visual ghost
The genetic's are quite confusing at first but once you learn how they work it is a breeze ..... Here you go:
