Cold Weather Shipping Precautions

During winter months, we take extra steps to protect your live insects:

  • Heat packs included as needed
  • Insulated packaging
  • Heated delivery vans

Note: Beetles may arrive dormant due to cold exposure. This is a natural state and not a cause for concern.

How to Revive Dormant Beetles:

  1. Unpack all containers to allow airflow
  2. Keep them at room temperature (18°C–25°C / 64°F–77°F)
  3. Avoid direct heat or rapid warming
  4. Gently agitate bulk bags to spread the beetles
  5. Allow several hours for full recovery

Most beetles will revive if handled with care upon arrival.


Why Temperature and Humidity Matter

For successful mealworm beetle egg production and colony health, maintaining the right conditions is essential:

  • Ideal Temperature: 20–28°C (68–80°F)
  • Ideal Humidity: 50–70%

Improper conditions can slow growth, promote mold, or attract dust mites.


Can Chickens Eat Mealworm Beetles?

Yes! Many poultry owners integrate live mealworm beetles into their flock’s diet for added protein. Just ensure moderation and proper sourcing.


Boost your self-sufficiency and poultry health with high-yield, breeder-ready mealworm beetles from Live Aquaponics.

Paper plates are something you really need to shop around and these from Amazon are well made and priced to sell. They hold up well when we are looking to have a quick bite for lunch or a midday snack.

Great Lotion for the price
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I recently picked up the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion, and I have to say, it’s quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The first thing I noticed was the rich, creamy texture. It glides on smoothly and doesn’t leave that greasy feeling that some lotions do, which is a huge plus for me. The cocoa butter scent is delightful but not overwhelming. It reminds me of a warm, cozy day, and it lingers just enough to be pleasant without being too much. I usually apply it after my showers, and my skin feels so hydrated and soft for hours afterward. I also appreciate that it comes in a big 32 oz size. I feel like I’m getting good value for my money, and I don’t have to worry about running out anytime soon. Plus, it’s versatile—perfect for both my hands and body. Overall, I’ve enjoyed using this lotion, and it’s definitely helped to keep my skin feeling moisturized, especially as the weather gets colder. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that really delivers on hydration and has a lovely scent, I’d recommend giving this one a try!

Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
As someone who typically shies away from using lotion due to its heavy and greasy feel, I was initially hesitant to try the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion. However, after ordering a large bottle for both my husband and me, I can confidently say that I am pleasantly surprised by how much I love it. One of the first things that struck me about this lotion is its delightful scent. With every application, I feel like I've been transported to a serene beach setting, enveloped in the comforting aroma of cocoa butter. It adds a touch of luxury to my skincare routine and leaves me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. What truly sets this lotion apart for me is its lightweight texture. Unlike other lotions I've tried in the past, this one absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving behind any greasy residue. I appreciate how effortlessly it spreads and how it doesn't weigh down my skin, allowing me to go about my day comfortably. Additionally, I've noticed that the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion provides ample hydration without feeling heavy or cloying. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, and moisturized, without the need for constant reapplication throughout the day. I would highly recommend this lotion, especially for those with mature skin. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula makes it a joy to use, and the beach-like scent adds a delightful touch to the skincare experience. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand and Body Lotion and plan to continue incorporating it into my daily routine.
