Once we got the content it then took months to edit and upload to a online format. Doing this took time, and we estimate we spent as much time obtaining content for this book as we did running the insect farm. We then took thousands of photos and hundreds of videos of how we operate the farm. We then Benchmarked the production and costs of producing of yellow/giant mealworms and crickets. First we demolished and renovated a 6m (20 foot) caravan and converted it into an insect business. This project was big….with thousands of photos and hundreds of videos taken over a 18 month period. 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. When we started the project, to our knowledge no one had produced a comprehensive guide on producing mealworms for both hobbyist and commercially.
