Very good. I didn't know you could get canned bee larvae:wouldn't begin to know where to look for it. Found some canned fried dace in an oriental store in San Francisco. They were rather awful. When I was a kid we knocked /Polistes/ paper wasp nests from eaves. The larvae and pupae were great bait but the pupae were delicate and difficult to keep on the hook.

If you raise waxworms it might best be done at some distance from the apiary.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has some good info on eating insects. They deal mostly with bee brood but also touch on wax moth larvae as well as adult bees.

http://www.fao.org/docrep/w0076E/w0076e20.htm Section 8.10.12 describes the care and feeding of your wax moth larvae.

I believe drone brood is also used for fish bait
