NYT: "Call it The Buzzing Dead. Infestations of what scientists have dubbed zombie bees have spread across both the West and East coasts in recent years...""They are succumbing to their overlord, larvae of the fly Apocephalus borealis..."
This story from the NY Times should be setting off Massive Alarm Gongs in the skull of anyone who cares about the natural world that makes human life possible. Researchers may not yet have nailed down the factors causing the parasitic flies to go apeshit in relation to the bees, but an overall context is obvious to anyone who is paying attention (and who is not somehow beholden to payola from the chemical-pharmaceutical-genetic Borg, Inc.). To wit: as industrial chemical GMO profit-driven "products" continue to infest and overpower the natural world, things just keep getting weirder and weirder.

not until she's finished stuffing her bank account. Me? I wanted a lot sooner, I'm very fond of eating.
Now maybe some of her supporters will help us kick this up where it can be seen.
