Humble Bee (Hypo/Ghost Bumble Bee)?

RMB Sep 28, 2007 05:40 PM

Any photos or links to photos of this morph? Anybody see one? I am very interested in knowing what this morph looks like. To me, the addition of the hypo/ghost phenotype to the bumble bee would be incredible.
Thanks!

Similar to a killer bee.

Thank you very much for the reply!
Though, wouldn't that be the same as saying pastel hypo/ghosts are similar to super pastels (removal of the spider gene)? One step further would be saying that pastels are similar to ghosts/hypos. I mean, there are plenty of morphs that some people would refer to as similar, but I would think the differences between pastel hypo/ghosts and super pastels are fairly apparent. What do you think?
The difference between honey bees and bumble bees is fairly distinct, so I would think that the so-called "humble bee" is a fairly distinct animal.

It does look very similar to a killer bee, the saddles are a little lighter. Jon and Amanda from Albinos Unlimited had one, they look really nice in person. Still an amazing animal to own since you have 3 genes in one....
