    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

so you breed a lesser and a spider to get lessers het for spider
you breed a pastel and a spider together to get pastel het for spider
then breed those to together to get this "queen bee?
sorry im just wondering how you got this.
 
Jorden,
I moved your post. If you want to ask genetics questions, please post them in the discussion forums...or ask the seller privately.

If you breed a lesser to a spider, you can get normals, lessers, spiders, and lesser spiders (sometimes called lesserbees). You won't get any hets, because these are not recessive traits*.
Same goes for pastel x spider - you can get normals, pastels, spiders, and pastel spiders (bumblebees).
To get a queen bee, all you need are the three traits to be carried by the parents (in any combination) and some luck. You can breed a pastel lesser x spider; or a bumblebee x a lesser; or a pastel x a lesserbee; or even a queen bee x a normal.

*technically, lessers ARE hets...with the homozygous form being a blue eyed leucistic. This is a codominant trait, in which the heterozygous and homozygous forms look different from both the normal form and each other.

Im glad I seen this thread Becuase I thought it was Mojaves that produced the Blue Eyed Leucistics Thanks for clearing that up for me :thumbsup:
 
mojaves, lessers, butters, and a couple other things are het blue eyed leucistics
 
Ok I thought I was told wrong on that LOL Harald while your here I've got a question that maybe you can shed some light on for me.

I personally Like the lessers/butters but whats the diff between them? as I cant tell becuase some butters/lessers look VERY simular or maybe its just me
