    And, to get back on track to your original question, I highlighted your chances of producing a visual Bumblebee Pied from this pairing (1/8 in total, with 3/4 of the time that Bumblebee Pied carrying at least one copy of the HRA gene).

    Male:
    Het Red Axanthic, Piebald
    Female:
    Het Red Axanthic, Bumblebee, Het Piebald
    Percent Fraction Traits
    3.125% 1/32 Pastel, Red Axanthic, Spied
    6.25% 1/16 Pastel, Het Red Axanthic, Spied
    3.125% 1/32 Pastel, Spied
    3.125% 1/32 Pastel, Piebald, Red Axanthic
    6.25% 1/16 Pastel, Het Red Axanthic, Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Pastel, Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Red Axanthic, Bumblebee, Het Piebald
    6.25% 1/16 Het Red Axanthic, Bumblebee, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Bumblebee, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Pastel, Red Axanthic, Het Piebald
    6.25% 1/16 Pastel, Het Red Axanthic, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Pastel, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Red Axanthic, Spied

    3.125% 1/32 Spied
    3.125% 1/32 Piebald, Red Axanthic
    6.25% 1/16 Het Red Axanthic, Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Spider, Red Axanthic, Het Piebald
    6.25% 1/16 Spider, Het Red Axanthic, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Spider, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Red Axanthic, Het Piebald
    6.25% 1/16 Het Red Axanthic, Het Piebald
    3.125% 1/32 Het Piebald

    EDIT: Fixed the chart I shared - I forgot the female was also HRA.
    Thank you for doing chart. so i would get a 12.5% chance of producing a visual bumble bee pied?
