IMO the first one to the far left, for sure looks like a killer. the rest look like really light bumbles.

I'd have to say that the one on the far left sure looks like a killer bee to me and the other two are just two smokin' looking bees!

They are all "killer" if you ask me, but I would have to agree that the one on the left really looks like a killer bee, especially with the extremely washed out shed.

these 2 bees came out and had me stumped. i passed their pics on to greg at the retic ranch. his initial thought was one killer and one bee. the other breede4rs that saw them said pretty much the same thing, one bee and one killer. the only prob with the killer is that the breeding that produced these was a female spider and a male pastel. the total results for the clutch was 2 female spiders and 2 male bees.let me know what you think.sorry the first two pics are a little poorly illuminated.

" the breeding that produced these was a female spider and a male pastel"

I don't think a snake can have 2 copies of dads gene AND 1 from mom. Thats what would have to happen and the odds are astronomically against you.

The one on the left certainly looks lighter. I don't see any blushing though. Could be a killerbee, but it's kinda hard to tell from the pic.
