Breed a Graziani Bumble Bee male to a normal female. Came home after a long 13 hour day to find this little guy. Happy I am .

Curious...normally when breeding a Bumblebee (PastelSpider) to a normal, wouldn't the offspring consist of Spiders and Pastels and normals? Isn't it strange to produce another bumble bee? Or is that normal to see bumblebee's in the offspring..?

If it is a double co dom not consisting of 2 of the same gene ie; supers, it can reproduce itself.

Recently I posted a question asking what double co-doms reproduce themselves when bred to a normal.

Here they are..........not sure if this is a complete list.

BumbleBee
Pewter
Lemon Blast
Spinner
Spinner Blast (a triple.....spider x pinstripe x pastel)
CinnaBee
Pastel Mojave

Yup. Any multiple co-dom morph can reproduce itself with the exception of the super. I recently bred Pewter to Pied and there are 3 Pewters, 1 Pastel, and 1 normal/cinny(?) hatching right now. Talk about the odds being on my side. I was just hoping for a cinny.

you normally have a 25% chance of reporducing itself with a doulbe co-dom.
