Any one have pics of Golden Bee+CRS offspring???


I have heard that this is what somepeople do to increase the white in their CRS stock. Im not sure if it's true but I would like to know. I would also like to see some pics of the resulting offspring.

Thanks.

That is not good looking at all. I would rather have some A grades then that ugly thing.

if you ask me golden bees aren't fully white CRS, they're something different. I've always had that hunch since they first arrived on the scene, and this proves I'm somewhat right.

Anyone ever seen a fully white crs? NOT A GOLDEN BEE

it is a separate genetic trait so its not really crossbreeding.

The problem is people bred golden bees for the gold color and not white.

So even with snow whites (the pure white ones) they still throw crappy white colored offspring here and there.

The funny part is I've kinda got a similar problem without the golden bees
