Question :Super calico....

MarkSisco Sep 23, 2010 09:32 PM

I have a super Calico, (unproven)....If Bred to a female bumble-bee ....Should make Calico spiders, Calico pastels, Calico bumble-bees, and Calicos? No Normals?

Sounds about right. If it is a super, it can't produce a normal. Neither can the bee for that matter.

Bumblebees definitely can produce normals.

Right.
It's killer bees that can't due to being super pastel spiders.

You're right, that's what I get for trying to figure out genetics when I'm tired.
