    Wasp and hornet larva are some of the best panfish bait you can get. If kept in a paper bag in the refrigerator, they stay alive but don't develop much. Once they cap over the bait quality is less.

    Hmmm. Interesting. We have chickens at home as well. And while we never had hornets to feed them, there was a certain bug, adult and probably about as large as one of those hornets, which they gladly gobbled up. Me and my father were digging up some earth in their place to use as fertilizer and there was this specific insect, which had thick legs at the front, probably used to dig. They looked really interesting and there were a ton of them, so the chickens got to feast.
