nothing happened to it. That is how silk is done traditionally all over the world.

Traditionally, the mulberry growing is done by the same household that raises the silkworms. This is not how Kraig Labs has said they will do it. Jon has said they will be purchasing mulberry leaves from the co-ops. There is no point of purchasing mulberry just to give the mulberry back to the households to rear silkworms.

I assume they will because I do not see a way to house and care for a half a billion worms in one location.

You don't need to house half a billion worms in one location at once. 50 million worms every 2 months is enough to produce 100 tons a year at this location. And much more if they stagger the breeding cycles strategically. Plenty for their first year or so of ramp up.

At a silkworms largest point in it's lifecycle (fifth instar) you can raise 40,000 worms in a space of 17 sq.meters (or about 2 sq.meters of floor space if their containers are on racks). The prodigy building is ~4,200sq.meters.

Long story short, our current facility is plenty big for silkworm husbandry for the foreseeable future. The main bottleneck is mulberry production, which they are working to build up.
