We found it easy to raise wax moth larvae and without destroying combs. Here is the recipe that worked: 100ml honey 100ml glycerin 1200ml dry baby cereal (e.g., Gerber high protein) 30ml water Mix thoroughly, place in a wide mouth glass jar (e.g., gallon), and lay a mass of wax moth pupae on top of the mixture. Keep in a warm place (80F or 27C). After adults emerge, watch for egg mass production and fast-moving young larvae. Note the heat generated by their metabolism.
