Is the farm in trouble?

I've been farming mealworms for a bird rehab. It's getting amping up to peak season now - they need 180 grams a DAY and it'll only get worse as the summer goes on. On top of this, i found these tiny beetles in my worm bins. iNaturalist IDed them as hairy fungus beetles. If they are fungus beetles, they sound kind of helpful? But i don't know if that's what they are or if i should be worried. I can't scrap my bins and start over because there are a LOT of owlets and kites depending on my worms so if they ARE bad, what are they and how can i remove them without damaging the worms?

Please help!

What's blooming for you?

Show me your cool blooms! I'll go first - prairie blazingstar, american basketflower (the dark variant native to my area, ironweed (just starting!), rattlesnake master, lemon beebalm, and the adorable yellow passionflower!

I got a ping while we were raising our winter sowing plants indoors and it really FEASTED on those fungus gnats. What do I do now that our plants are outdoors? How can i keep this little trooper happy? Any resources or advice for a first time owner? It has little round black rocks for soil and the seller told me not to touch or repot it for a year.
