Workshop includes bonus items including an insulated tote, seed packs and
sample butterfly release boxes and seeded butterfly paper samples.
Just to let you know…. for those of you who are planning to sign up for Nigel's upcoming
workshop….. here's what's happening!
First of all, very important to point out that these articles and workshops are for ALL levels
of experience - and there are golden nuggets for everyone, whether a beginning butterfly
farmer or if you've been at it a number of years!
Right now, we are releasing the class article, video and bonus items for the Part I participants.
Our new scheme is to release the class articles a few days before the actual workshop discussion
forums begin. This gives participants time to read, study and write down questions before Nigel
starts the classes.
Please contact me if you have questions or would like to sign up now for the workshops. We are
sending out the class articles today, for Part I of the workshop. This is some of Nigel's very best
stuff! A complete review of diseases, parasitoids and how to avoid them is provided in the article,
and Nigel gives a great overview of the three best, specialty methods to raise butterflies, depending
on the species (Pop Ups and Sleeves are reviewed/improved, and the new Styrene Box Method
is explained in detail with lots of photos and a wonderful video)!
The articles for Part I and Part II will total over 80 pages, full of great photos and text. The daily,
online workshop discussion forums can be accessed by participants anytime day or night - very
easy to post your questions, read answers and discuss thorough what Nigel teaches.
Below is the class schedule for Part I and Part II, and below that, more workshop information in detail.

PART I
Raising High Numbers in Limited Space -
The Three Ways to Best Raise the Species
The workshop articles and video's are simply Nigel's best. Part I gives a
very badly needed review of diseases and parasitoids, what they are, how they enter our
breeding operations and how to eradicate/prevent them. Part I gives complete
information on the THREE very best ways to raise butterflies - depending on the
species you are raising. Nigel thoroughly reviews two methods and has some
"twists" on them as he continually improves ways to raise better butterflies,
more efficiently and in higher numbers! This is amazing stuff!
The Pop Up Method, the Sleeving Method and the newly developed and tested
Styrene Box Method are explained from A to Z, with photos and video's for the
details. You won't want to miss learning the new methods or not get the
nuggets that are all through the article.
Learn how to raise more butterflies with the least amount of work,
space and equipment! Eliminate disease, raise your output and
reduce your labor with tested and proven methods. Taught by world-
renowned butterfly raising expert, Nigel Venters (testing and using his
efficient methods to reach monthly, commercial output of up to
9500 healthy, vibrant butterflies per month)!
Part I includes an overview of aeroponic growing systems available for rapid
growth of host plants to feed your larvae, with Judi Sunshine's presentation
for aeroponics - photos and text to show how she designed and built her own
system!
******************************************************
PART II
Maximum Monarchs III: Romping Mode!
Eight-Week Old, Fresh, Vibrant Monarchs??
Milkweed Vines for O.e-Free Monarchs?!
Using Milton's Solution on Eggs and Larvae!
Exciting, fool-proof new method that expands on the Max Monarchs Method -
for raising high numbers of disease-free, O.e.-free Monarchs. Course will include special storage
techniques for extending the shelf life of your Monarchs so they look fresh at
eight weeks! Using the Milton Solution for sterilizing throughout the lifecycle
from egg, larvae, and adults will be shown. Techniques to overwinter Monarchs, and
to "hold them back" will be taught.
THE BONUS ITEMS AND FUN STUFF!
The bonus items are here and I will start mailing them out NOW to
those who have signed up. What fun stuff! We have the great
sample seeded papers from Jacob Groth of Swallowtail Farms, JUDI
SUNSHINE's insulated tote bags, Sample Release Boxes from Judi that
are the neatest I've ever seen, and seeds from Butterfly Boutique (the
newly discovered nectar plant - Combretum fruticosum, Morrenia Vine
seeds for raising O.e.-free Monarchs, and some Agnus castus - Vitex
nectar bush seeds).
Workshop attendees also receive a bonus article from Grace Venters
for starting Worms & Compost; and a bonus article from Judi Sunshine
for Rapid Plant Growing Aeroponic Systems.
XFactor Sunshine Starter Kits has offered a discount for the workshop
attendees who wish to purchase a cloning/rooting setup. I have one of
these and it gets cuttings going FAST - like unbelievable!
Thanks!
