I read this article on the phorid fly and the posts to the list: http://www.iewy.com/39290-nhm-entomologist-co-authors-new-research-on-parasitic-phorid-fly-a-new-threat-to-honey-bees-2.html But I'm looking for more details about how exactly the fly gets the bees to depart. Is that much known yet? Or am I missing another source? *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
