What I have just learned in life:
Cutting corners can be working right on the dividing line of success and failure and the slightest mistake anywhere can cause a complete failure.
Doing everything the right way, means you can make some small accidents/mistakes and still have success, since the right way has some room for mistakes.
It is best to train people how to do things right the first time. Avoid the temptation to tell people how to cut corners on their first day at work.
If you want, maybe you can say "if you are struggling to do this the right way, you can come ask me at any time for advice or ways to cut corners or how to do "some is better than nothing" such as watering 1,000 plants and at least giving all the plants a little water, instead of properly watering 5 plants and having 995 plants die, due to interruptions and lack of time or being short handed from call-outs. It's also good to tell your manager you couldn't do the job in time, so maybe they can prioritize the next shift. They may prefer you do it right and only water 5 plants and tell the next shift to continue from the 6th plant, so that they can keep track with certainty of what was done, rather than some chaotic uncertain partial watering.
Also, as the student, new employee, new hobby, new business startup, you should do things right the first time.
If your teacher is showing you how to cut corners during training, tell them you appreciate it, but to please hold off on telling/showing you for a week or so until after you have got the hang of the job the right way.
Once you have had success in doing things the right way, you can experiment with cutting corners and know how it will effect your outcome.
If you are trained about the corners you can cut you can decide to cut corners while learning, you will likely have failures.
I know I went a little off-topic, but I am relating this to BSF Farming.
This guy knows his stuff!
Try hard to do everything he says.
Assuming "well they are flies, they will survive on a trash heap, he is just trying to tell you how to maximize or save a few days" will lead you to failure and frustration.
BSF Flies are VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY picky with mating and laying eggs and the egg hatchings.
Once your Larvae are at least 1-3 weeks old, things are effortlessly easy. Toss in food, mix it up, sift out old stuff, repeat. Easy.
I've had probably 10,000 BSF flies in a large plastic tote with tons of cardboard strips and a screen lid in my living-room and i would put a light on it.
I assumed "if there are enough flies, they will mate, because they won't be able to resist the urge to mate no matter the environment".
This was incorrect.
None of them mated.
None laid eggs.
Why? because they are picky. They have requirements for their environment and I had ALL their requirements missing.
I just setup a proper enclosure with maybe 25-100 flies and harvested about 20 batches of eggs which are hatching now.
The details matter!
Listen to this guy!
Thanks mahn.. i can tell you love helping people
Nuevo suscriptor excelente explicación mil gracias por su trabajo y compartir con la comunidad su labor, saludos desde Medellín, Colombia.
Amazing explanation. Thanks
God bless you Kim for the knowledge you are giving us. Thank you so much, i have learnt much from you. Festus from Abuja, Nigeria
Thank you Sir,am humbled..I desire we all make it. Shalom
Thanks brother for this class.me from Uganda
congratulations!
i have a simple question, if you would be kind to reply:
i want to understand the borders.
so, assume we have the best climate possible, and best organic waste available.
for this example, assume we have only 1 gram of eggs.
we put this 1 gram of eggs in a square container: what should be the minimum dimensions in centimetre for the exact square? like 50cmX50cm.
what should be the minimum height of this container, such as 15 cm.
under the best condition, how much kg they consume until they are ready for harvest?
approximately, how much of that kilograms of waste is completely consumed by the larvae? such as, if it's 13 kg, they completely convert 12 kg and 1 kg is untouched.
what do you do that unprocessed part of waste?
that consumed part, in my example being 12kg, how kg transformed frass do we have at the end? like 2 kg?
how many days from putting them in that bin and harvest them?
please assume we have the best conditions, what ever needed.
thanks in advance!
Great video, keep up the good work!
Thanks so so, much Kim
But the pre pupae stage is so hectic. What do we do with them wanting to move around in a frenzy and crawling through every tiny space
Congrats guys, I donˋt know how to emphasise that this is one of the most potent game-changers as a very viable way to create self-employment. Keep it up
Thank you for your lessons. An important (for me) question: do the BSF larvae eat a wet, a bit destroyed coffee chaff (the last "skin" form the coffee roaster, not grounds, not husk). TIA for the answers.
Soldier Fly, how many days do you feed?
Every day...or once every few days...
Is rice bran suitable for neonates?
Wao!.I love this
Thank you ,is it needs abig please.
cabbage and banana plies ?
instead of whetbran etc ?
What is the Bran quantity?
Very informative. How can we contact you
Number pinned in videos description
What's that background noise? Pigs being slaughtered or something?
I wondered about the larvae dying after I got the eggs get wet because i swear they did.
Now I know it is true.
NEVER mist your eggs out of concern for them "drying out".
This is an excellent explanation with good detail. Thank you for your generosity. We teach people in the Sierra Madre in Mexico how to have better food security. Once we get our BSF production going well, we will show them our project so they can produce better food for chickens and fish. This will help combat child malnutrition. Blessings to you and your work.
Amen.. good Job you are doing,let's continue impacting this knowledge to the next generation, that God will be proud of us and our children, children's
Great!!!Need this for my chicken project....contact plz
Q
Are we eating the BSF larvae?
@@Haliotro they are a good source of protein. You can roast them. In England, I've seen them process them down to fine protein powder like whey protein.
Plz reply, how can I remove smells from bsf colony
Hi, I say from Bangladesh.Your channel is so good for modern agriculture.I ask some you that black soldier how to contribute of egg production for layer. Not make sure from another source.I hope you give us explain.Thank you.
Hi, i am from Pakistan. what will be the ideal environmental conditions for maximum production of larvae and eggs ?
what's the size of the sieve's hole?
Dear Sir You have arranged a very informative program. There is an opportunity for new people to learn a lot. Thanks
My Friend, thank you so much for your excellent explanations. I am a new hermetia producer and i am learnig with people like you!!! Again, tthank you so much from Panama
Thanks for your effort and practical presentation this is extremely useful content, I have started Bsf production in South Africa for my Poultry Farm your content is really useful in assisting me with my production thanks again
Hi there, i also do poultry keeping and would to know Do you serve bsfl alive or do you do some sort of processing?
How's your farm doing a year later?
I wish you can provide a written text of this video. Sometimes its difficult to understand some terms that you utter. Thank you
very informative lesson .I got a piggery in south africa where I was keeping 50 sows and I-was keeping about 500 pigs in different stages at any given time.The price of feed down here and the abattoir prices was so fluctuative to an extent that we were hardly making money and I ended up shutting down the piggery operation and im left with Cattles only now.,I would like to know if its possible to feed BSF maggots to pigs without any other supplements ?
or it is just a substitute for protein ingredients on a ration?
I am sorry to hear you had to close your piggery. Information here is excellent. Cattle can benefit greatly from regenerative farming and rotational grazing. If you please, check these two processes out here on You Tube also. Farmers are using these practices for all types of farm animals - including pigs. Best wishes to you.
I think it's very expensive to feed the pigs purely on BSF maggots... they are protein supplements. Maybe get a better profit making dried BSF larve.
Very interresting but.... pas moyen d'obtenir la française de vos vidéos pour les pays francophones SVP
How much are you guys feeding your BSFs daily???
Do you keep them uncovered? I've had so much trouble with moisture. It comes from inside the waste, or just the humidity, and the waste tends to spoil quickly. It goes rancid and the larvea get covered in slime. I can't seem to keep them dry.
The larvae don’t need to crawl up and harvest themselves? I see that in so many videos, but your method looks as though the timing is your friend and the larvae are all ready in the container without crawling out to “self harvest”. It’s basically just math and environment?
So in a nutshell, try to keep the flys in your closed system for seven days to lay eggs???
I love your explanation,your work looks great. I will love to get more knowledge
Lovely,Bravo so good, what a platonic training ❤
Both house fly and back soldier fly are attracted to the attractant. How do I prevent the house fly?
Is it suitable to feed fattening white chickens from these larvae, and how much is the addition, whether live or dried?
Man. Imagine if you were to die in that room he's standing in. The flies would get to work in no time!
Sir please can you feed your catfish these BSF larvae all through without mixing other food? Will the fishes be ok if they are feed only BSF larvae till their harvesting period? I look forward to your response please. Thanks
Max26 degrees, thought max temp was 36, which is which
Приветствую вас из Новой Зеландии,сегодня я начала свой бизнес по разведению протеиновой личинки мухи Черного солдата❤
Good explanation, please what is meant by pig waste, is it left over food or poop
Hi, how do I decrease my humidity? I live in Costa Rica 90%.
At start show differing size (why)? They self sort
Mature larvae leave out
🤝 excellent presentation. Please keep up the good work of helping others to get it right👍
How can I get to started on black soldier fly farming please
hi I am looking for a trainning in this field , how can i contact you please
This is amazing.Please let me have your contact details.
why arent the maggots crawling out of the trays
thanks brother, you give me inspiration. please allow me to develop. good luck and healthy greetings from me in Indonesia
very interesting and educational, greetings from Indonesia
I am using vegetables and fruits waste but i saw tha increase the moisture. What do you recomend to me?
Add sawdust /rice bran/wheat bran any of the three to absorb the moisture and turn the mixture with hand fork.
How to make them lay eggs in these wood nest? Mine are laying directly in the bed !
Hi bro
When you say rice bran did you mean deoiled rice bran?
How to turn them into flies and how wrong they take
Thank you for training mr. Kim
Sir good work , may you help me how to formulate bsf in pig and poultry feeds
There is nothing I can say that is better than thanking you very much. Your presentation is very practical and educative. Again nasema asante sana kutoka Tanzania
Could you please share a breakdown of the setup/capital costs and the running costs for different feed outputs? This will help some of us contemplating setting up to set realistic expectations and be prepared for the financial demands of the project.
Am soon going to jump into producing black soldier fly laerve big time.
What about beans sprouts after 10 days then blended up
happy and generous, many can't share! thanks for the big HEART.
Excellent instruction. Thank you.
Interested but I have a phobia for maggots
Anyone have the idea ambient temps for this to work??
Good job.. I really want to do this, how can we connect
Please how can we get these containers used in this video in Nigeria?
17:21 what are the other little worms from the left over, some other non-BSF worm?
Hello, can you tell me where did u get the crates ? How much was it ?
Amazing instruction and info. Thank you Kim!
مرحبا كيفية الاتصال معكم
Thank you ''ProteinMaster Nairobi " and ''Utmost Precision'' for your wonderful work .I had some questions to the 'ProteinMaster Nairobi ". I will benefit if you get the answer to my question .
Q1-What is the size of your carat? L / W / H?How many liters ?
Q2-How many grams of eggs are given per carat?What is the amount of food in carats?
Q3-How many kg of food should be given per 1 gram of egg?
Thank you for the nice information.
Hi Shaun, show me the light. Stefan
Thank you very much.
I couldn't sleep until l landed on this.
Why can you check the temperature, immunity
They dont crawl out?
thnk you sir from algeria
Please explain about their disease
Very nice and good 👍
Out of 8kgs of waste, what is the frass out put?
Hi, you told us not to go beyond 3 days after hatching but then you leave yours for six days, please clarify. Thank you
Waiting for the answer too
How come you doing 6 days?
Maybe I clarify,egg collection from the love cage should not go beyond 3days because the eggs start hatching then..but once on the hatching substrate you can leave them there between 5-6days.
Is it suitable to feed fattening white chickens from these larvae, and how much is the addition, whether live or dried?
Good work, where can I find you?
Very informative video! I have a questions, why do larvae end up dying when you add food without sieving first on the 8th day? Is this based on experience or is there some scientific explanation for this? Thanks.
I had a bitter experience with my bsf larvae that I had just bought 2 days.we slaughtered goat n i thought i would feed larvae better with the blood so i pour in only to get shock of my life next day,i had lost all of them by drowning.They suffocated n died.Have learnt now never to add food to them especially anything wet .
@@josphinechelangat1928 yea they prefer aerobic conditions and do very poorly in anaerobic conditions. They don’t very well on pure meat as well.
How can I get some for starting
Good day. everyone who wants to know more about the black soldier fly in the topic of cultivation, incubation and processing, put + in the answer to the comment. Let's make the world a better place together.

thanks from indonesia
Very nice work
Are these maggots the same ones we see in pit latrines? Forgive my question and perhaps, ignorance😊
Not really.this are different,they are called Black soldier fly larvae..you can also check out our TH-cam channel proteinmaster Bsf nrb and learn more.
@@fredrickim1 Thanks Kim. Am checking it out. I have kienyeji chickens and I would be interested in this.
The ones you see in a pit latrines are maggots from the house fly but these ones are the larvae of black soldier fly very clean insects they look like wasp but they don't bite nor sting.
Why do I call them clean insects? Is because they don't transmit nor harbour any infection.
@@johnstoneolefa913 The reason these flies are 'clean' is because they don't eat.
They crawl across the same infectious muck as house flies when looking for a place to lay their eggs.
The difference is they don't come into your kitchen looking for food. So they don't spread those pathogens to your food and make you ill.
really need to understand the steps for this innovation. It's quite amazing.
Does this hurt the larvae
Animal consumption only.
How much waste have to feed for 3 hand full neonates for up to 14 days.
Where do I get the crates please?
Great information. Thanks
Where are you located?
Hello , can you please create a list of these videos ? it's kinda confusing to find the first videos before this one, awesome work btw ( i mean i playlist)
Hello Awesome. There is a playlist on BlackSoldier Farming. Go to our youtube home page, click playlists and voila.. Let me know if this works.
@@utmostprecision1620 yes indeed , thank you very much :D
Heloo when you talk about pig waste does it generally mean their dug?
and what the best harvesting period of the larvae?
