This is almost too crazy to even write about but I will attempt to anyways. A new research paper has come out that talks about a study done where it appears as though a fly is targeting honey bees to lay their eggs. It appears as though these flies lay eggs in the bees' abdomen. These parasitic eggs essentially feed off the insides of the honey bee. While doing so, the bees display "zombie" behaviour by doing out of ordinary things like congregate near lights. When they die, the fly larvae emerge.
The study says that this is potentially an explanation for why the bees just disappear in CCD. Because they are zombies!
