what's the "right" way to make a killerbee?

Is there a wrong way? Spider X Pastel = bumble bee......Bumble bee x pastel = killer bee or super pastel X spider = killer bee.? or do I have the genetics wrong?

super pastel x spider will not produce a killer bee

Yes, since each parent can only give one copy of each gene (like the gene at the pastel location) they both have to have the pastel mutation for the baby to get two copies and be a homozygous (aka "super") pastel. So for killer bee you need pastel on both sides and spider on at least one so at least one parent has to be at least a bumblebee (or bumblebee + something is possible these days).

Your best odds would probably be super pastel X killer bee with 50% killer bee odds per egg.

Like Randy said - A bumblebee is neccessary in the making of a killerbee - Possible outcome from bumblebee x pastel pairing is killerbee, bumblebee, super pastel, pastel, spider, and normals...

Throw a super pastel x bumblee pairing and all offspring at the very least are pastel - possible outcome from this pairing is killerbee, bumblebee, super pastel, and pastel...

OK i think I got it .....so a spider and a super pastel will give me 50% bumblebees and 50% pastels, and no killer bees?
