Oh you know fatsnakes oh ok. Since you know him i'm sure he's good start for a bh project and you can see his collection personally as well. Regarding your year old female. I think its good to go past the 1500g mark. My trick and killer bee girls are past 1500g but i'm gonna go past that some what. I believe people breed late in the year so i might try then. So yeah if your really want to get into bh i say go for it and best of luck if you do.
