So a few months ago, I put down some stone bricks on a bare patch of soil, hoping it would attract queens. Well, first of all, it was already getting cold when I did that, and second, now that it's spring there are legions of earthworms under there. So there you have it: earthworm catcher. Although, this sounds like something someone else already came up with.

I've heard people using this method to collect brood to raise parasitic queens, I think that it would be better to raise earthworms, since house raised don't have pesticides, I'm not exactly sure how to breed them at home though.

If you look in the list of handy links, Crystals has a tutorial on how raise all types of feeders, including earthworms.
