I noticed a female laying eggs in the container today. The nights have been down into the 50's lately and as low as 45 degrees 2 nights ago.
It appears that the BSFL population isn't enough to process the 1/4 lb of feed/day, but that's to be expected after a month of adding no additional feed. The population always seems to adjust quickly to the food supply. The new feeding program is more than the present colony can handle so some of it decomposes before it gets eaten. The slight odor given off by the excess food, signals nearby females that there is a food supply for her eggs. Within a few days there will be new recruits to help process the extra food.
