How I make fruit fly medium!

Think I will just stick to buying a big bag of the commercial stuff. It's inexpensive.

What's this stuff you're talking about?

It's the stuff you buy ready made, All you have to do is add water & yeast.

The Egyptians used honey for their wounds, They found out that if they used honey, That infection would not set in.... Hmm..

Mikhail, thanks so much for this pictorial post! This really seems a foolproof and refined way of growing MASSIVE amounts of fruit flies. I am following your recipe now!

Great! You should see tiny maggots all over the container soon... How did you find putting everything together?

Yes & I have found that when it's time to clean, All you have to do is rinse the 32 oz container under warm water & the container cleans up nicely.

Very easy and plus it doesnt stink like most mediums

I really like the instructional post you did. Very Pro. I have the ff culture from the stores, but you still have to add the yeast and water, so whats the point, the only extra to making it yourself is the honey or sugar and vinegar. That's why I rather make my own, I never run out and have to order and pay shipping, I just set it up and make it. I really did not save any time by trying to use the commercial mix. But as I always say, DSFDF!

 

[MikhailsDinos]

About 30 or more, Give or take.
