<< I betcha they have a boatload of cocoons that have been either processed or stored since we have been rearing our original egg shipment since January probably at Vietseri !!! >>

Is that being stored along with the tons of spidersilk that they produced a few years ago???

Why warehouse cocoons when you can process them?

Suppose KBLB had a large batch of cocoons from their early foray into Vietnam. You suggest they might be transferring those to Prodigy to jumpstart production, while I indicated they would transfer eggs.

If I had a batch of cocoons but no place to process them in Vietnam, I’d ship them back to the US and process them here. We are already set up to do that work. Why wait?

But I doubt KBLB had all of the resources to produce significant quantities of silk in the temporary facility. It takes a lot of mulberry, a lot of workers, and a lot of space. There is a reason we have a 50,000 sq ft building. Raising silkworms requires a lot of space.

What evidence do you have to support your claim?
At the moment, I’d rather take a conservative approach and be proven wrong than face yet another disappointment from the company. No reason you have to feel the same.
