waxworms dont usually live for more than a week - but one way to keep them alive longer is to store them in your refrigerator. They kind of go into a hibernation of sorts and once they are warmed up come back alive.

wax worms eat honey combs in the wild. You can raise them on a diet of oats and honey. They will pupate into moths before breeding.
