🌸 Happy Mother's Day from Hive Queen Insects! 🌸

Did you know dubia roaches are actually amazing moms? Unlike most insects that lay eggs and walk away, dubias are ovoviviparous — they carry their eggs internally and give birth to live nymphs, just like mammals do! Mama dubia keeps her babies safe inside her until they're ready to face the world.

And dubias aren't the only ones! Several other roach species share this trait, and the animal kingdom is full of surprising live-bearers:

Ball pythons? Nope — but boa constrictors and green anacondas give birth to live young!

Blue-tongued skinks and Jackson’s chameleon give live birth too!

Many sharks, guppies, and even some snails skip the egg stage entirely.

Nature's moms come in all shapes, sizes, and exoskeletons — and they all deserve a little recognition today. 💛

To celebrate all the incredible moms out there (human and insect alike!), we're offering 20% off your entire order this Mother's Day weekend!

Whether you're feeding a beardie, a gecko, or a picky ball python, treat your reptile babies to the best — because good moms know their kids deserve quality food.

We LOVE Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL)! Here are the top reasons we think they are awesome:

1) They are naturally super high in calcium. No dusting needed!

2) They have a soft, moist outer skin that is very easy to digest - no chitinous shell like superworms and mealworms have. This means lower impaction risk and easy on the tummy, if that's a concern for your pet.

3) They are an excellent source of protein without a ton of fat. Superworms are a great occasional treat, but due to their high fat content they should not be a primary source of food.

If you haven't tried BSFL for your pet yet, what are you waiting for?! It's basically a superfood!

Hive Queen Insects is excited to announce our newest collaboration with Roothouse Aquaponics in Batavia, OH!

We’re now feeding their fresh, organically grown greens directly to our insects - creating a more natural, nutrient-rich diet for our feeders!

We love Roothouse Aquaponics because they are certified naturally grown, and never use any herbicides or pesticides. They also use 100% rainwater only, and are fully non-GMO.

This partnership allows us to:
• Support local farmers and small businesses
• Reduce waste and carbon footprint
• And most importantly: produce healthier, better-fed insects for your animals

Come see us at our new table, with DUBIA ROACHES! Of course we will have our usual mealworms (tiny and regular), superworms, etc!

🐦✨ Want More Birds at Your Feeder? Add
Mealworms! ✨🐦

If you love watching wild birds visit your yard, adding mealworms to your feeders can make a big difference!
Our farm-raised mealworms from Hive Queen Insects are:

🌿 High in protein to support feather health & strong muscles

🥚 Great for nesting season & growing babies

❄️ Perfect year-round energy boost

🎯 A proven way to attract bluebirds, cardinals, wrens, robins & more!

Mealworms mimic the natural insects birds search for in the wild — so when you offer them, you’re not just feeding… you’re supporting their health the way nature intended.

Whether you’re an experienced birder or just getting started, adding mealworms is one of the easiest ways to increase activity at your feeders!
