Pied bumble bee would look like?

I mean, we know pied and spider make all white with spider head...but what do you think the pastel gene would do to that?
All yellow with spider head?

I think it would look exactly the same with a Bumble Bee head. The Pied mutuation creates stark white regardless of the base color of the snake to start with. The amount of white is based on the time of development that the mutuation occurs, earlier more white later less white. I suspect something in the Spider gene causes the mutuation to happen earlier than it normaly would making the animals so high white. Vinnie
