ZomBee Watch
| Help scientists learn about zomblie flies killing honey bees. | |
| Spot, record, share sightings of dead honeybees. |
|
The Museum is partnering with San Francisco State University's Department of Biology to learn more about the zombie fly, Apocephalus borealis, and how this parasitoid (like a parasite, except they always kill their host) affects honey bees, Apis mellifera. You can join this investigation by becoming a ZomBee Hunter! |
