I have a carnivorous plant and just caught a bee. Can I feed it to my American Pitcher Plant?

I don't see why not. That's how they would do it on their own in their natural environment.

Yes.
Reply:Yes, only if the bee is alive. Because only live insects stimulate the trap hairs of carnivorous plants. It will not digest a dead bug because it can't distinguish between it and a drop of rain water or other inert things that can fall in as it has no way to taste or smell.
Reply:Absolutely.
