You are probably refering to my message down below where Bruce posted pics of his superpastel breeding a female spider. And then again where he showed pictures of his male and female superpastels. A bumblebee is a pastel spider. A killerbee is a SUPER pastel spider. When Bruce breeds his male superpastel to his female spider he should get both bumblebees and pastels. If he gets a male bumblebee, once it reaches adulthood he can breed it to his female superpastel and have the possibility of producing Killer bees, superpastels, bumblebees and pastels.

>I'm still learning about genetics and I'm once again stumped. I thought that a bumblebee was produced in a pastel x spider breeding. In this breeding you would have a 25% chance to produce bumblebees since pastel and spiders are technically heterozygous (I think?). Then I read that a killerbee is produced in a super pastel x spider breeding. I'm confused though because I would think that in this breeding you are simply just increasing your chances at getting a bumblee. Obviously I'm missing something here or I am operating under a false assumption. I'm always trying to expand my BP knowledge and would love for someone to clear this up for me. Thanks in advance!
