A buddy breeder of mine will sell them to me for 3 dollars each. Is this a good deal? Are they safe with cherry reds and there new borns?

If they are of decent quality, yes that is a good price. Although I have never kept bee shrimp, as far as I know they are ok to keep with cherry shrimp. Here is a link to a chart to help you with compatibility. http://www.theshrimpfarm.com/dwarf_shrimp_compatibility_chart.shtml
You can keep them together, although their water preferences differ a bit.
Bees prefer slightly cooler,softer, more acidic water. But the cherrys should be able to adapt to that.
they wont interbreed as the cherries are neocaridinas, and the bees are caridinas.

What determines if they're of high quality? As far as color they look great. Deep white and Deep black
I see I see. Well I went ahead and bought them anyway. I figure its good deal. According to BiggestShrimp, one of the shrimp has tons of white and little black and the other look just ok. But I like them anyway haha they look great.
In the over all scheme of things, that is all that really matters. Whether or not you like them. Congrats on your new shrimp! I look forward to pictures of your new critters.
Hmm I dont want to get paranoid but one of my shrimp turned a little more on the brown side. Like chocolate colored. Its acting normal but the color faded a bit. Something I should be concerned about? Maybe it just molted?
