ВАЮ про це знає - Або що вбиває бджіл?

After further exploration across San Francisco Bay, he and his colleagues found several bees that were also behaving strangely. They would fly from their hives at night, which was something bees would normally never do, and then circle around a light fixture. After their nocturnal dance the bees would drop to the ground and start walking strangely. They were succumbing to their overlord, larvae of the fly Apocephalus borealis.

The life cycle of the parasitic fly is straight from a horror story. The female fly uses something called an ovipositor, which is like a hypodermic needle, to inject her eggs into the abdomen of the honeybee.

About a week later the larvae lurking within the abdomen wriggle into the bee’s thorax and start liquefying and devouring its wing muscles. Then, like in the movie “Alien,” they burst through the bee’s body, erupting from the soft space between its head and shoulder area.

“As far as we know this is a death sentence,” Dr. Hafernik said. “We don’t know any bees that have survived being parasitized by these maggots.”

As many as 80 percent of the hives that Dr. Hafernik examined in San Francisco Bay had been infected. Understanding more about how the infection spreads is important, he said, because although the infestations are not the main driver behind honeybee declines across the country, they could help collapse an already vulnerable colony.

А більшої картинки немає? А то на цій погано видно чи там ще коса, чи вже окуляри.

Багато казали про зникнення бджіл, аж ось стало відомо що Україна вже кілька років є найбільшим виробником меду у світі. Тож хто його зна, чи є зникнення бджіл, принаймні у нас чи нема.

Ну і оце: because although the infestations are not the main driver behind honeybee declines across the country

тобто, бджіл вбиває не ця тимошенко бублікова муха, а щось інше.

Там написано "не тільки муха і в основному не муха". Але муху це ніхуя не виправдовує. 

PS. Також очевидно, що та муха щиро любить бджіл. І має на них великі плани, про котрі особливо не розповсюджується.
