How Do You Get Rid of the Little Flies That Are on My Plants

Question

I have some little flies on my hyacinth plants. How do I get rid of them without hurting the plants? The flies are black in color and look like they might be fruit flies, but I have no fruit in the house. Where would they be comming from? They are done flowering and the stems are still green. I will plant them outside as soon as it warms up. Thanks
