Bee larvae are terrified of bee kibble.

[Cirrial]

Bee larvae are specifically coded not to eat anything that contains "bee" in the name. It's obvious why this is -- to prevent some twisted individual stuffing a larva full of its unhatched clone bretheren.

However this also means they react to attempts to feed them bee kibble with terrified revulsion.

Given they're growing larvae, wouldn't bee kibble be filled with at least four delicious nutrients a healthy larva needs to grow?

Course I could be wrong and this could be a feature, but I couldn't search for "bee" in the forum search.

It's like vegetables. Have you ever tried to make a baby or child eat vegetables? Same principle.

This is actually what I thought was happening whenever I attempted to feed bee kibble to a larvae. Can you even feed a baby bee anything besides royal jelly and gym shorts?
