Since we didn't have anything else to worry about, now there's apparently a fly that targets honey bees and lays eggs in them. And it's super aggressive:

Crap! Not again.
They found a parasitic fly that was reported by this same person back in January. Here is a link:

Funny how we discussed this back 7 months ago, and I commented that researchers and bee labs would be lining up for grants and seeking funds to do fly research. Oh wait.....this is what this article is all about. ;)
Never mind. :roll:
