Thank you for the video, it is packed with great information. I hadabsolutely no plans to start a farm but my husband found an injured baby robin with no nest in sight. So I bought some mealworms from our local feed/petshop. Then I discovered that my rescued raccoon loves mealworms. So even though the robin has recovered and has flown away to join a flock, I am now feeding them to my raccoon lol. So I best get started on a farm. Thanks again guys and keep up the great work.

This video maybe the most logical one i have watched. I have avoided growing meal worms because all of the other videos showing the constant sifting, seperating, yadda yadda. I am wanting to grow fishing bait. This sounds like it would not be a big deal. I already have the worm farm to recycle the bran.

Hey guys! Enjoyed your presentation and relieved i don't have to figure out when to separate yada yada... For another video, I just read that mealworms are eaten by humans around the world. I dare you to taste one as your next scientific experiment :)

this was fun and full of info. thank you for taking the time and sharing. your day. Instead of paper towel on top of worms, I have used an empty toilet paper roll, cut in half or left whole. they seem to love them and I find it easier to transfer my beetles to a new shoe box with them clinging onto the cardboard than to sift them through a strainer. Y'all have a blessed day.

Hello! Thanks for the great information!! I have just a small tidbit. Years ago I was raising mealworms in a tent in my back yard. I had them in a few small pools because I needed lots for my chickens. When my beetles developed they started flying around the tent. I'm thinking that there behavior may be different depending on the environment they are reared in, the amount of sunlight they receive, or natural temperature changes. Your thoughts are very welcome.

Id also like to know how to get the mealworms out to feed my birds or it is ok to just grab a handful or everything for them? Will doing that deplete my colony? Also do I not have to heat sterilize the wheat germ to prevent my house getting infested with moths? Otherwise, great video I am always for simplifying, as long as it doen't hurt the critters.

We need to stop destroying our soil, I love this video and the points you are making. I want to start a meal worm farm to feed our chickens and ducks. You make it so simple and less expensive, giving so much incite. I object to breaking down beautiful manure. 🤣 Animals restore our soil, vegetable farming does not. Botany 101 should be a required course in the 8th grade. Vegetables protect themselves from being eaten with poisons naturally. Dr Anthony Chaffee. We cannot digest fiber it rots in our intestines, meat digest’s in the stomach acid in our guts.

I live in uk and its spring now. Just started a mealworm farm in my workshop but it's 10c temperature in there. Do I need to create a warmer environment for the mealworm to speed up the process? Great video guys. Thank you.

This was a waste of time. Not once did you show the lids. Far too rambly and chatty. I just wanted to see how to create bin, the lid especially. Yeah I learned a bit but you never showed a bin in total with lid.

You really don't need a lid to keep them in. They just burrow and feed. And wriggle and feed. They don't normally get out (or try to get out).👍I've never used a lid.

Some do fly but it seems most types don’t. Ours did fine with just a dozen poked holes. I had a problem with keeping it too moist got mold which killed a lot 😅
