(unlike the evolution of fruit flies into bees). Did you just make that up?

Much effort was spent in trying to evolve fruit flies into something other than fruit flies. The effort was fruitless.

But not flyless.

Fruit flies are used in genetics experiments to understand how genetic mechanisms work. They have speciated in the wild and in the lab, so that also shows evolution to be true.

The effort was not fruitless. Creationism is simply fruitfilled, rotten fruit at that.

You're just making this up as you go along. Please cite the study or studies which "tried to evolve fruit flies into something other than fruit flies". That should keep you busy for quite a while.
