How are you going to keep them separated indefinitely? Picking out the beetles every day?

yep Smile everyday i check the pupae and theres usually about 5 or 6 beetles that i put in the beetles drawer, and every two weeks i will put the beetles substrate with the worms so the existing eggs can hatch, and i check the worms for pupae and move them to the pupae drawer Smile about once a week ill clean out the dead beetles.
