<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am planning to start a dermestid colony for skeletal preparation. In my last position I operated a large and active colony that was isolated in a separate room and down the hall from the collections storage. However at this museum it
looks like the only option will be in the lab and office space that is directly next to the collections storage. Has anyone come up with a safe way to operate a colony to minimize escapees and potential harm to the collections? We had a pretty strict protocol
for the dermestid colony in my last job and had very few, if any, problems in many years of operation. However, I need a fool-proof system to also keep our history and archaeology curators from being too worried about their nearby collections! Has anyone set
up a similar colony? Any ideas are appreciated!</p>
