Good news as long as some one doesn't decide to release a million in every dump.
The wax moth grubs are also raised and sold as live fishing bate. I wonder how many are released into the environment after the weekend fishing trip?

Apis,
When I first saw this, the thought that came to mind was, "Every creature has a purpose" Still hate 'em in my comb.

checked this out after seeing this. yikes! obviously people are buying them or they would not be selling them. the good part
( for beekeepers ) is they are popular with ice fisherman so leftovers will likely not survive, they are expensive, & those who buy them live are paying shipping cost along the lines of what we pay to ship queens.

How fascinating! Hence why they devoured through a garbage bag I had some comb in. Interesting that they're popular amongst fishermen!
