Thanks for sharing this. It's been a nightmare dealing with an infestation due to contaminated bran products. Ruins everything. I just feed local birds and rescued roadrunner but end up spending too much time removing the mites.

thank you

I've been working towards starting my own farm, I've watched several videos. I like this video especially well, so I subscribed and now I'm going to view some of your other videos on your channel. I like your set-up, I can tell you've been at it for a while.😊

A comprehensive guide to mealworm farming at a hobby level to pro

FINALLY! I wasted so much time online. All I wanted was a way to separate the Beatles from the eggs and I could not find a resource that talked about rotating crops. I know you didn’t go into that aspect very deep, but at least you hinted at it.

What is a good source for bulk wheat germ?

This guy has mites in his ears!

I bought this and love it -- when I need to separate live/dead beetles and when i need a bridge for pupea

Any suggestions for how to clean sheddings if you live where you have icy snowy winters four 4 months?

What Are The sized mealworms...I have the small set...1/8 , 1/11 , 1/14....I assume the 1/8 is pupua?...med, large?

Fantastic video. Taught me a great deal. Actually bought your pupae sifter so thank you. Best tutorial on mealworm raising…bar none.

so do you not feed any food at all for moisture during this process? i hear you mention any of that.

Great video.

not smart to put your theft of us gov. property on your youtube video

What if your beetles do not lay eggs and it’s been months? Straight from larva to beetle bin and no eggs? Oatmeal substrate and veggies for water

I'm new to this. Just wondering, do you need to put a air hole in the cups?

I've found a great source for finding sieves for mealworms, etc.: Temu! And so much cheaper than elsewhere! They have singles and sets but you have to spend some time to make sure you're getting the mesh sizes you want but worth it! Some sieves sets have the same size meshes, so not much help and a lot of them just don't tell you the size. I found 2 x different larger size green plastic sieves for only AU$3 - $4.00! A, couple of slotted stainless steel sieves that were only around AUS2.00 - AU$3.00. Ea one appeared a little different in mesh size. If one wasn't suitable, I can use the other in the kitchen. Then, 2x stainless steel mesh, one size 40 and the other size 50. Scrub that! I must've missed out on the size 50 (Blast!) and the order is $11.13 over so I'll have to complain about that and see what happens. Though I suppose I can consider that the postage but, it was supposed to be free. They're all from different senders but can be all ordered at once from the cart. I've used Temu only once before. I had to make other purchases as the minimum order for Australians was AU$40. There are other sieve items that are a little more expensive but still very cheap in comparison to other places..

always a bag bag or batch, everytime i get worms i use a fresh 16oz deli and i see the mites on the sides

Las zophobas k estan listas para pupar, son las que se te quedan en el carton de huvos enroscadas en forma de c. Y supongo que ya te habrás dado cuenta con el tiempo, pero es bueno que los escarabajos hagan el cambio en los botes y luego los separes, porque sinó van devorar al resto de pupas, yo lo qye hago es agujerear las tapas con un alfiler y me funciona bien😅.

Sir help my mealworm dont mates😢

Very helpful video…thank you! 🐛

I’ll never use cut oats again! Using latex gloves helped sort through the large uneaten trash. Feed store had a torn bag of wheat bran and I got a 5 gallon pail full. Sorted into more drawers. Lots of pupae about to morph, lots of larvae and beetles so not really a set back. The mealworms are like a compost bin for us.

I knew if i came to farmers i would get valid information. This the first I've seen your methods. Thank you so much!!

What is frass?

YOU CANT BE HEARD PROPERLY SO DIDNT WATCH SUSPECT THIS WOULD OF BEEN ALOT MORE POPULAR IF YOU WAS HEARD

how many bugs can u hold in ur set up?

Why doesn’t the larvae have moisture and only wheat bran ?

how many beetles for all those trays

👍awsome tutorial bro.where did you buy the 6set of sieves from?

Where did you get those rainbow bins racks

How much is your 5 gallon bucket of Frass?

do they flex under black light?

Great idea. I usually quarter (cut them in hald length wise then cut those halfs into quarters) my organic carrots or when I am peeling carrots, i throw in the peels. Sweet potatoes Inuse the purple ones and slice them in slices and scatter them. I am going to try the spirals next.

Thank you for sharing.. Where do you get these sifters and the name for ordering them? I'm in Australia.

This is my first time trying to raise worms. All my worms are turning black and dying and I don’t know why. I’m using bran and chic starter and feeding them potatoes. Maybe my home is to cold?

hello is it possible to find a feed that kills them without harming the mealwhorms?

Great video. where do you get your round mesh shifters

How does the vacuum not suck up the mealworms?

This was a great video for folks who are looking to start growing worms.

Video shaking, looking dizzy and nauseous

视频摇晃看着头晕想吐

Has anyone had success dehydrating mealworms? I have used my dehydrator on the lowest setting after freezing them first. By the time they are dry they are black. I also tried without freezing them first with the same results.

How do you separate the mealworms from everything else to feed to the chickens?

Wow, amazing video. Great explanation and love the tour. I started a small colony in a letter page sized storage system with the intention of feeding our 5 chickens... But I think I need a bigger colony because the chickens gobbled them up in 1 go.. It's only about the size of one of your rainbow colored trays. And it took me ages to get full sized worms. 🤣

Great video. Do you keep your meal worms in your garage? If so, it's not too hot or cold? I'm just getting started. Have one drawer ..😅

I got about 30 worms for $12.90 2 days ago. I'm doing well with the superworms and crickets so I decided to get worms. Haven't managed to bred anything yet, just pupate supers and make crickets grow.

Just freeze your substrate overnight in a deep freeze and you will never get mites. I use oatmeal in the cardboard tubs. As soon as I get them home I take the plastic lid and paper seal off the tops and set them open in the deep freeze until the next day. I have never had mites in my mealworm tubs in 10 years of raising them. Heat doesn't always kill them off, but freezing is guaranteed.

I bought these sifting trays and they are amazing! Sifted through thousands of worms in no time. Thanks for the recommendation.

Wherer did You Buy green tuppers?

what size are the slits, did you experiment with bigger or smaller before you settled on this one
