If I understand my genetics...Yes, you should have a 1:16 chance of getting a bumblebee.
If the offspring inherits the pastel AND spider gene from the bumblebee parent.

But I might be wrong...

When breeding a Bumble Bee to a normal the odds are the same as breeding a Pastel Jungle to a Spider. 25% normal, 25% Pastel Jungle, 25% Spiders and 25% Bumble Bees. That is why the Bumble Bees are worth so much!!

a bumble bee.

Breed a Bumble Bee to a normal and the breakdown based on the law of avarages will be: 25% Normal, 25% Spider, 25% Pastel and 25% Bumble Bee.

This is why 'triple threat' morphs are so valuable in a collection. One morph does the same as work of 3! The same can be said for Pewters and any other double codom or dom.
