Bee products- no mite treatment this time

Post by Hermitsandplants » Tue Aug 19, 2025 5:55 am

So abt a year ago i posted abt giving my crabs pollen, wax, propolus, and honey from my beehive but i had treated them for mites, so i was not able to feed them the products. Now that i have not treated, what all can i feed them? I was thinking dead bees, pollen, and wax and maybe other stuff. Can i do that? Also, what about hive beetle larvae? We had a few frames infested :( that we froze so i thought why not feed it to the crabs. Is anything here bad for crabs or am i good on that?

Good questions! Unfortunately I don't have any experience with most of the things you have mentioned.
You can for sure give honey, the honey comb, and bee pollen. But I am not sure about the other stuff - sorry!
