I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

We have a local distributor that we use. Usually ordering direct from the insectaries requires very large wholesale orders, and our farm is much too small for that kind of volume

Insectary is not a word I have heard before... or even thought would exist!
