The shrimp propagate prolifically. I think "free of predators" is the key for some. 
I am certain I'd be able to do the same with CRS and Bee shrimp.

If bee is not the same as bumblebee they are more difficult to keep alive and breed than cherry red. They are more susceptible to nitrates than cherry and their water temp and alkalinity is lower than cherry red. That is my experience
