I have a genetics question with regards to Bumblebees. On average what can one expect per clutch of 4 or 6 eggs from the breeding of a male bumblebee with a pastel female and with a normal female?
Thanks for your help.

I'm not 100% sure of the exact ratios so I won't comment on those, but I do know whats possible to make from those crosses:
Bumblebee X Pastel-
Super Pastel Spider (Killer Bee)
Bumblebees
Pastels
Spiders
Normals
Bumblebee x Normal-
Bumblebees
Spiders
Pastels
Normals
Anyone know the ratios? I didn't feel like doing the punnent square...
