Non-honey bees


Inktober #12 – remote

My association with this topic was remote control. Well, this kind of control might be not exactly remote, as it’s about a parasite controlling behaviour of its host. Apocephalus borealis, a fly, makes its bee host into a kind of zombie. It is known to parasitize bumblebees but a paper from 2012 reported it parasitising also the honeybee.
