    Re: how do you make a bumblebee

    Any given egg within the clutch has a 25% chance of hatching out a bumblebee....if you start with a regular pastel and spider.

    no, if you tried a super pastel it would be a killer bee

    Actually, a Super Pastel bred to a Spider would produce roughly half Bees and half Spiders. In order to produce a Killer Bee, both animals need to be at least a Pastel (therefore being either BeeXPastel, BeeXSuper Pastel, Killer BeeXPastel, Killer BeeXSuper Pastel, Killer BeeXBee, etc. etc. etc...)

    A quicker route to them would be to buy one already hatched.

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "continuously producing" them....you mean like how could you insure that every egg hatched is a bee?

    Re: how do you make a bumblebee

    ya. would you have two bees and breed them and get all bees or what? what are they, recessive, dominant, co-dominant?

    Re: how do you make a bumblebee

    Oy.... let's see...

    Both genes (pastel and spider) are visible in their heterozygous forms...meaning they are either co-dominant or dominant. Pastels can produce a homozygous form, (super pastel) but so far as we can tell, spiders can not. All spiders are currently understood to be heterozygous...so you'll never be certain of getting a clutch that is 100% spiders. But with a super pastel, you can count on all its babies being at least pastel (+ whatever it might inherit from its other parent)

    SO....if you bred two bumblebees together....you could get some pastels, some spiders, some bumblebees, some killerbees (super-pastel-spider), and maybe even some normals.

    If you bred a killer bee to a spider, you'd get all pastels and bumbles in the clutch.

    If you bred a killer to a bumble, you'd have a chance at pastels, bumbles and killers.

    Hope that makes sense....I'm really too sleepy to be trying to type all this out!
