Adding "one more morph": A bright future for the BP industry

[mainbutter]

Wait... that's possible isn't it?

It's possible, but takes either many generations or really good luck, and each additional gene gets less and less likely to happen.

For example..

pastel x normal: 50% chance of each egg being a pastel.

pastel x spider: 25% chance of each egg being a bee

bee x pinstripe: 12.5% chance of each egg being a spinner bee

1 in 16 chance for adding another base morph by mating it to a spinner bee. Goes up by powers of 2 if you mate heterozygous base morphs.
