Wax worms, the larvae of the greater wax moth, survive by feeding on beeswax and other organic materials found in beehives. They possess specialized enzymes that enable them to break down the complex hydrocarbons in wax, which most organisms cannot digest. Additionally, their ability to thrive in low-oxygen environments, such as those found in beehives, helps them survive where other species might struggle. This unique adaptation allows them to flourish in a niche environment where they have few natural predators.
