What makes bees better than the others? Not that I disagree, mine loved bees and I'm sure they're very nutritious, but so are mostly any insects.
A wild bee harvests, processes, and feeds off pollen from a variety of flowers in its environment so it is likely more nutritious than a cricket or Dubia roach right out of the bag from Petco. However, feeders raised in captivity and fed a nutritious diet (with variety) can be just as nutritious as a wild caught bee. I give mine a few bees once in a while but make sure to remove stingers on honeybees. Yum!
I sit there like a sadistic nut and pull the stinger out with tweezers.
Why bother?
Can't never be to safe when it comes to caring for our little buddies.
It is all part of their nature though. But if you feel safer doing it then have at it
I’m trying to avoid a potential emergency vet visit. I don’t know if chameleons are immune to bee venom but regardless, the sting must be very painful.
My panther got stung by a bee twice. He was fine. He didn't even show signs of discomfort. He wanted to go out and explore and his tongue look normal just with a little pimple on the side. My veiled eats bees often and never got stung. No need to take it out!
You can catch bumblebees easily in Spring and Summer. I don’t do it too often because they are very important pollinators.
