Hello Lovelies,

I came across biologist Glenn Kvassay's mealworm production training by chance few nights ago (hobby and commercialscale). It's free for groups like Permies.com, so I contacted him to set up a November training. The date is tentatively set up for next week. The platform allows members to view the pre-recorded training as your schedule allows! I'll post an update with access information soon.

In the meantime, enjoy his content on YouTube

and website at https://www.breedinginsects.com/pages/about-us/

I'm extremely excited to learn this and I hope you will join me!

Hi again Lovelies,

We have been very fortunate to be able to organize free video training to teach us how to breed mealworms (hobby and commercial scale).

The training is pre-recorded and goes for 1hr and 20 minutes. I have seen the training and its very comprehensive and well worth your time. The video training is by Glenn Kvassay from BreedingInsects.com. This business has an online training platform which is used for the training. For instance the mealworm book he uses has 20 chapters, 100 sections and hundreds of photos. The training covers breeding, housing, feeding, pests, tips and tricks.

– The free training is available from 8th to 14th November 2021 (time zone to be noted soon)
– Video training is pre-recorded and available at any time during this period.

Training is free, and if you wish to get permanent access to the book used in the training, the author is offering a 40% discount to all book products Mealworms. This is completely optional and there is no obligation to buy the book.

You are welcome to disseminate this training information in your permie circles.

The training has been opened early due to popular  demand from other groups as well. It is accessible now.

Below are the details for the training:

Start and End date for training and discount code:            2nd to 14 November 2021 (US time)

I am not sure which US time zone was used so please keep that in mind if you access the training on the 14th. Better to presume it means Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5).

Please leave comments, praise, complaints here so they can be forwarded if there is no option to do so after the training. Of course, remember to be kind and courteous as we all represent Permies.com for this free training. On a side note, I am personally happy to have finally found a freebie to contribute to a group of Lovelies that have been so helpful to my farm and me. Thanks everyone.

Hi Tavonna - this is awesome. Thank you so much for setting this up. I currently know nothing about breading insects but I have eaten them in Thailand. I will definitely watch and report back.

Hi Tavonna,

Thank you for setting this up! I have been planning to learn about mealworms to breed for chickens and any other critters who might like them.

This free training is just what I needed.
