14 Years Commercial Experience can Save you Years of Sweat, Blood and Tears!

The “Complete Mealworm Manual” has just been released. With 20 chapters, 100 sections and hundreds of photos and diagrams, it is by far the most comprehensive book on the market.

The book covers all aspects of mealworm production including; hobbyist and commercial methods (separate versions); the common yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) and the tropical super or giant mealworm (Zophobas morio).

The Mealworm Manual Project

We get enquiries on a daily basis from people wanting to set up a insect business. Our goal was to benchmark production so that people who want to produce for profit would have the right information in terms of setup and running costs to have the confidence to more forward. To our knowledge no one had done this for a commercial operations. The Mealworm Manual Project was 18 Months in the making (For more info See below)

How The Mealworm Book Project Came to Be!

When we started the project, to our knowledge no one had produced a comprehensive guide on producing mealworms for both hobbyist and commercially. If the insect breeding industry is to move forward quickly (and it will to keep up with global food demand) we decided to do a comprehensive guide to meet this need.

This project was big….with thousands of photos and hundreds of videos taken over a 18 month period. First we demolished and renovated a 6m (20 foot) caravan and converted it into an insect business. We then Benchmarked the production and costs of producing of yellow/giant mealworms and crickets. We then took thousands of photos and hundreds of videos of how we operate the farm. Doing this took time, and we estimate we spent as much time obtaining content for this book as we did running the insect farm. Once we got the content it then took months to edit and upload to a online format. We had additional challenges such as running our business in the middle of natural disasters (fires, floods), covid and then some pests infestations for good measure…but we got there in the end.

We are pleased that our hard work has paid off, with many people commenting how this book has helped them fast track their business. Best of all, the photos we have included are just the tip of the ice berg and we will be adding lots more photos and videos as time goes on. Add to this a big line up of partnerships in the wing, we will have lots more to share. Best of all with an online format, you will always have the latest version and content.

If you want a real world “how to” guide on mealworm breeding then this is the book for you. Insect breeding is a “School of Hard Knocks” business. Get it right information up front, and you will save yourself years of sweat, blood and tears.
