Our story

🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
The Bee's Eight Knees is a small business that started with one wild Bronze Jumper named Ophelia who walked straight into our lives and took over!! She craved human interaction, she WANTED to play. She also had a secret, she was GRAVID!! Raising her babies was such an honor and it brought us to Regals. Life has not been the same since. We want YOU to experience that feeling too and so we strive to connect you to your perfect Ophelia, the Spood that will change your life too!!

Everything we do is in honor of our sweet Ophelia, may she rest in peace. Her children live in our blackberry bushes and will do so for generations, protected and treasured.

Rice flour beetle larvae (Tribolium confusum) are a popular, low-maintenance feeder insect for small animals like dart frogs, lizards, and amphibians. They are easy to culture and reproduce readily in a container with flour and a bit of baker's yeast. The larvae are a good source of protein and can be used as a staple or supplementary food. 
Culturing Rice Flour Beetles:

Container: Use a shoebox-sized plastic container with a secure lid. 
Media: The culture medium consists of whole wheat flour (fine), white flour, and baker's yeast in a ratio of 4:4:1. 

Maintenance: No water is needed, and the media depth should be around 5cm. 
Overcrowding: Flour beetles can be cannibalistic, so avoid overcrowding. 
Culture Longevity: Cultures can last for several months and are a good backup food source. 
Harvesting:

Sifting:

Use a small sieve or tea strainer to separate beetles and larvae from the flour. 
Larvae Only:
To get just the larvae, place the sieve back on the surface and allow adults to climb out. 
Harvesting Tips:
For a quick larval harvest, you can try using a wedge-shaped piece of paper to scoop some flour and then slowly pour it out, leaving the larvae behind. 
Feeding:

Variety:

Rice flour beetle larvae can be a staple food or a supplement to your pet's diet. 
Animal Preferences:
Some animals may not readily eat the adult beetles due to their bitter taste. 
Disposal:
Dispose of old cultures in your general waste bin, ensuring no flour escapes. 
 

Tips
Maintain multiple cultures to ensure a continuous food supply. Keep cultures in a cool, dry place. Store cultures away from food storage areas to prevent potential infestations.
