- Transform food waste into a valuable food supply for chickens, hogs, songbirds and fish with Black Soldier Fly Production. Karl Warkomski, Director of Conservation with ProtaCulture, LLC introduces us to this astounding insect that can break down food waste faster than microbes. Black Soldier Fly maggots make a high fat, high protein source of nourishment while making what is normally waste into a valuable farm/garden asset. Part 3 focuses on the biology of black soldier fly.
The BSFL eat the housefly eggs because the housefly eggs are deposited directly in the food of the BSFL. The only housefly eggs that hatch are the ones that hatch very early before the BSFL are hatched and grown. If you are doing a pod, it is always best to seed it with BSFL to prevent that early housefly larva hatching.
I'm so glad to have stumbled on this info a few days ago. Focus on the microbes, and we can really evolve all of this! Amazing!!!!
well I have noticed the flies do have mouth parts 5:50 and they use it especially to take in water. But I also noticed BSF sitting on jucy oranges sipping some liquid. I am actually working on an exeriment where I let BSF "drink" different liquids and look how they develop. any thoughts on that? did you notice something similar?
Bad odors can be managed with EM-4 very nicely. And I have also noticed that EM-4 actually attracts more BSF adults
Jose Luiz Garcia what is EM-4
Hermetia illucens do have spongy mouthparts, albeit very small and normally only used to take in some moisture or nectar which can extend their final stage as an adult fly. Research showed feeding adults, extended their egg laying period an average of 10 days and tripled egg production. The milk diet was best.
Oh, I'm so relieved ! ..I just started seeing these soldier flies this year. Lived here (okc) all of my life & never saw them like this. They hang around where house flys are sometime like 1 soldier to 100 house flies ratio. I thought they were wasps & cringed at the thought of a bite or sting. Also i did see some grubs dark grey striped fat & slow. They were where some dog food had gotten wet no stink. Yea !! Great ! Thank u so much for this video. Kinda like earwigs look, so medieval & treacherous, but they clean up environment, too. Earwigs don't attack unless u threaten them. It is said that their pinch is weak if u provoke.
Some neighbors moved across street. They had a beautiful tiny black rooster. He got out gate kids left open. There were about 3-4 hens, the biggest I've ever seen, fattest, healthy & huge. I figured they must be composting & raising black fly grubs & that "that" is when black soldier flys came. Not allowed to have chickens in this area. I didn't tell on them. Maybe someone else did, though.
Love the armadillo example he gives at the end of this video. That's freaking awesome!
I would not touch a dead armadillo. They are known to carry the bacteria that causes leprosy.

People are known to have AIDS.
Never shake hands again.
@8:51 thank you so much for sharing everything that you do. Fantastic teaching
Wow adam levine farming bsf.
Great series ... thanks.
FYI ... Alberta has serious summers. They generally start in June and end in September. Temperatures in the 80-90's are very common every year. There are actually 2 native species of cactus found! What's the deal with America's gross ignorance 'aboot' Canada? The world continues past the 49th parallel ... you know that, right?
It was a joke . And honestly, the real summer is so short that you could say something like what he said
Great presentation. Am watching from Cameroon in west Africa
You briefly mentioned how to prevent other species from inhabiting the pod. I would like more information on this aspect of setting up a pod for the first time. Also, have you heard of a bsff being successful with wintering over in the Midwest? Northwest Missouri to be exact.
What about Southern California hot and dry in summer ? Does Relitive Humitiy affect them We are typical less than 50% summer temp can top 100°F
Hi, I would like to thank you for all the information you share here, very interesting, good luck
Great information. Thank you 🙏
I just constructed my own pen and started hatching my own flies using my bin and the crawl offs to populate the breeder. Haven't noticed any actual breeding activity yet but I have everything set up I think right I'm supplementing my Colony with Calvin or and they are going insanely well along with all my own organic waste. You had mentioned that you were hoping to develop a all together in one system if anyone knows where this is on the market could they please point me in the right direction cuz I would love to have all together one system to run in the colder months to keep my colonies going indoors
Keeping my eye out for an armadillo
I was in tears laughing at the pregnant females comment...
Money, charm, good looks, itelligence and a sense of humor are the top five in the Sapien category; in that order.
I would bet on microbial repellence for house flies because EM-4 also repells house flies
What is EM-4?
Good lecture. No snacking LOL
Great 👍
How good is this BSF maggots to Layers that are commercially grown.... to what proportion we can feed commercial layer chickens to conventional Layer feed...
Hi , thank you for your videos .
I put vegetable gabrage in my garden in box , First day i saw some worms who jump about 2,3 mm
Next week, I got colony of big worms gabrage became black
Can you pls confirm if it's black fly solder ?
Thank you for your support

House Fly pupae look like red tic-tac candy and are very small.
BSF pupae look like inflated black straight BSF Larvae and are huge.
Do the adult flies leave the bin to mate?
how well would these combine in bins with worms in processing composting?
microbes are the key to life for everything.
Do bsf larvae eat their deceased parents (if in a semi-closed environment)?
If I live in Colorado and want to overwinter some BSF, can I keep a bin in my kitchen? I keep my house temperature above 65*F all year. Usually in winter, I have it set for 70* inside. Where can I buy one of the small rectangular pods?
May Davies this wouldn't be a good idea because they will just turn into adult flies in the matter of weeks if not days. And to get more larve, you need adult flies. So unless you want your house loaded with flies, it's not a good idea
I thought I heard him say you could throw road kill into the bin for food. Has anyone experimented with carcasses as food? Mammal, Fish, or reptile?
Yes! They eat all kinds of stuff
How do I purchase the pods ? Or where can I get them ?
Black soldier flies breed on file stocked of leaves in shaded areas.
Great... Im on THAT part of the internet again
FalconM&M what's wrong with this video? It's here for a purpose unlike many of the videos on UA-cam that you are trying to refer to.
He says I think it's going to catch on in the next couple years this video 7 years old 🤣
I bet they would do well eating fast food waste.
rick dees he said that in a previous video
Iwant a training
does this fly polinate mangos?
No mouth parts..their adult phase only mates, so..like a mayfly. Kinda sad..”yay, I can fly! Hey..I’m gettin’ kinda hungry!”
solentblack?
somebody stole part 1 and 2 !!
Why do you. Perpetually. Say oh my god. I certainly hope you are not referring to my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What statement is it. Are you attempting to force or welcome yourself into a realm of almightyness?
It’s just a habit some people have, especially in America because of the “valley girl” fad many years ago. People who do it don’t mean it blasphemously, so it’s best to be kind when trying to correct them. I used to do it myself before the Holy Spirit brought it to my attention and I worked hard to break that habit.
