Zombie bees
Honey bees were found in Washington that were acting strange, almost as if they were drunk. Tests were conducted on collected specimens, and it was found that they had been infected by the parasitic fly apocephalus borealis (also known as the zombie fly). Bees infected by apocephalus borealis have been dubbed as "zombie bees," or "zombees". The infection has spread to Oregon, California, and South Dakota. Tests are being conducted on bees in several other states to determine if the bees there are infected. Bees infected with the apocephalus borealis fly cannot spread the infection to humans.
