[QUOTE="drotski, post: 285190, member: 8531"] Adult flies can thrive on honey and water...adults actually cannot eat meat, they have sponge mouth parts. Meat is used for laying eggs. I use a small dish with honey, with some sticks or lighting egg crate (to prevent drowning), and a small dish with water saturated foam. BB flies live 7-14 days like this, houseflies live longer on average. This is just my experience. The same set up is sold at mantisplace.com, called cup 'o flies, or something similar. [/QUOTE]
