    I heard it smells pretty bad so you might want to raise them in a shed or something.  I'm not exactly sure about the smelling so don't quote me on that.

    Do a search on "raising your own waxworms".  I raised them for 23 years and there is no fowl smell.  In fact, I think it kinda smells good.

    They are real pain in a real Bee hive.

    I know they would be a pain if you tried to raise them in a bee hive. I have seen some hives that they invaded.  They literally destroy it.   My culture was similar to the kits you buy, but just a little different.
