Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has any waxworm food recipes their willing to share, as well with has anyone had success in breeding waxworms, and how did you do it?

Thanks a billion,
Steven

don't know how to breed them but i have heard that they will eat bee pollen

I've bred waxworms before. You mix some honey in with bran until its slightly sticky and place the waxworms in it. Just make sure its in a container with very small to no holes. My mistake was doing it in a container that had screen and we had tiny microscopic waxworms all over the house for weeks, my boyfriend and I went out to dinner once and he even had them on his freshly laundered shirt. Just a warning to be careful where you keep them. They are normally a pest to bee hives so just make sure they have honey to eat and no where to get out and you shouldnt have a problem. Hope this helps
