Storage, Use, and Care of Mealworms
One of the comments we got from the Free Canned Mealworms post was from Joni, who asked about the appropriate location and feeder type for mealworms. Good question! For the answer, see Mealworm Care.
This is one of those times that I have to "'fess up". The boss has sent me several cans of the mealworms, and I've always just sort of "dumped" them out in the regular feeder, knowing that the crows (probably tied with the Red-wing Blackbird as my favorite bird) would simply inhale them. I was right... Once the crows figured out where the mealworms were, I didn't even have time to set up for a decent photo.
Hmmm...
To borrow from the great "Beave", "But jeez Wally, wouldn't it be a swell idea to maybe have a contest that offered a feeder or somethin' for mealworms?"
Tune in very soon for that next contest right beside the feeders!

I try to hide mine from the backbirds. I have only used the freeze dried worms. I Would love to try the real thing.
I put them under a tree in an open container not far (about 15 feet) from the bluebird Box.
