Inorganic nitrogen derived from foraging honey bees could have adaptive benefits for the plants they visit. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In most terrestrial ecosystems, nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient for plant growth. Honey bees may help alleviate this limitation because their feces (frass) have high concentration of organic nitrogen that may decompose in soil and provide ...

Compilation of Black Soldier Fly Frass Analyses [PDF]
Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2021 AbstractIn the context of black soldier fly (BSF) rearing, often the residues from production — mainly faeces but also undigested substrate — are addressed as frass in a broader sense. As BSF production is expanding, the valorization of BSF frass as organic fertilizer is gaining importance.
