Shrimpscales Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 [i am a little confused about the term hinomaru when used to grade shrimp. What does double hinomaru and no entry mean? Also i know this is common for crystal red shrimp but what about taiwan bees? Are they more rare and therefore worth more money? I dont see them for sale so it is hard to know what to ask for mine.

Ch3fb0yrdee Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hinomaru means "circle of the sun" I believe. It's also the representation of the Japanese flag, the red dot. RedBees (or any bees in general) demonstrating this characteristic are labeled as Hinomaru or hino for short. The hino no-entry is the dot with the white in between, similar to the no entry signs we have on the roads, hence the name. [emoji627] In terms of costing more, it all depends on the preference of the buyer. I'd pay more, but that's because I adore the Hinomaru pattern. Similarly, I wouldn't pay more for the hino no-entry as I don't like it as much. Overall, It's a pretty recognizable CRS/CBS pattern among hobbyist.

JamesHe Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 for TB, hino is not the original pattern. It was stripe/panda pattern. Many people believe hino type TB is the offspring of TB X CRS (hino or above) EricM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Great guide, James! I don't see a diff between 3 and 4 in that chart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Great guide, James! I don't see a diff between 3 and 4 in that chart though. 4 has little white bar at tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 LOL I had to blow up the pic to see that. Like a mm of white at the tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 The chart is awesome. Thanks. I would not have guessed in a million tries that no entry referred to a traffic sign but i totally see it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpscales Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 for TB, hino is not the original pattern. It was stripe/panda pattern. Many people believe hino type TB is the offspring of TB X CRS (hino or above) I did get this pattern by crossing tb x mischling. I love them, the pattern is like crs but the color and density of the white are definitely Taiwan bee. I also have some wine red hino and mosura that are going to be really nice when mature.
