Yes, kind of...

To make their bedding, take bran flakes and stir enough honey into it to make it sticky but not too clumpy. Grate beeswax into the mixture.

When you see pupated wax worms (actuallly, they are caterpillars), pull them out and put them in a small container with some beeswax. Moths will emerge from the pupae, mate and lay eggs on the wax.

Keith-

I have a section on my website about breeding wax worms. I think you'll find it very helpful.
