Much talk lately of colony collapse disorder, when worker bees suddenly leave the bee hive. Although unexplained, a variety of issues maybe causing the phenomenon. Apocephalus borealis, a parasitic fly which has already been attributed to a symptom in which the bees wander around aimlessly before eventually dying, as well as planting it's larvae in the bees' head, causing the heads to pop off after the larvae develops may be responsible for colony collapse from California to South Dakota.
