Queen Bee question......

MikesReptiles Oct 10, 2010 07:45 PM

Now I know that to make a queen bee you breed a lesser to a killer bee, but could you also make a queen by breeding a killer to a butter?

There are quite a few ways to make a queen bee(lesser/butter X spider X pastel).

Bumble bee(spiderXpastel) X Lesser/Butter

Killer bee(spiderXsuper pastel) X Lesser/Butter

Lesser/Butter bee(spiderXlesser/butter) X pastel

Lesser/Butter bee(spiderXlesser/butter) X super pastel

The list is quite large to make a triple combination mutation(queen bee). The examples above are just a few ways to make this combo. By using a parent that is super pastel, this will increase your chances of actually hitting on the odds to make a queen bee. And actually a super lesser/butter BEL could be used as well in place of the lesser/butter gene to increase your chances even more.

These were produced by breeding a super butter pastel to a spider.
