....the Axanthic snake is an Axanthic BumbleBee, NOT an Axanthic Killerbee.

After comparing the photos in your post to photos I have of the Axanthic Killerbees, the pattern of the snake doesn't match that of either of the Axanthic KillerBees.

Also, the Axanthic KillerBees have more traditional 'dots' in the side pattern, much like KillerBees have more side pattern dots than BumbleBees.

Apparently a 'double dose' of the Pastel gene seems to 'override' the Spider gene's tendency towards NO side pattern dots.

Yes, yes, SOME Spiders have the side pattern dots, but the overwhelming majority I've seen have maybe a couple, if any, side pattern dots.

Okay, enough rambling. I think the above statements make sense?? lol

LOVE that Axanthic BumbleBee. Too nice.
