“In January 2012, a researcher discovered larvae in the test tube of a dead honey bee believed to have been affected by colony collapse disorder (CCD).[10] The larvae had not been there the night before. The larvae were Apocephalus borealis, a parasitic fly known to prey on bumblebees and wasps. The phorid fly lays eggs on the bee’s abdomen, which hatch and feed on the bee. Infected bees will act oddly, foraging at night and gathering around lights like moths. Eventually, the bee leaves the colony to die. The phorid fly larvae will then emerge from the neck of the bee.”
