A waxworm is the larvae of the moth Galleria Mellonella. Waxworms are also sometimes called bee moth or wax moth. In nature, the Galleria Mellonella larvae are found feeding in bee hives.
No, the waxworms require no feeding once they are shipped from our location.
Waxworms should be stored in a cool dry place, preferably 60 to 65 degrees. They can be stored in a refrigerator however this sometimes creates moisture problems in the bedding.
The roasted waxworms have a shelf life of at least ten years if kept in a freezer and can be stored in the bag which they are shipped.
Waxworms should be mixed with other seeds and feed every time feeders are filled. Waxworms are most beneficial to birds in the winter and spring.
Waxworms are a treat and not a diet, feed your small pet accordingly.
