As if colony collapse disorder wasn't enough. Poor bees.

They then devour the bee's egg and also the protein rich pollen stores the bee intended to provide for its own larvae.




Sounds like every Democrat I ever met. :(

What on earth is the point of saving an ugly parasite?

Let it die off, I'd say.

As it happens the cliff between Bolt Head and Bolt Tail is one of our favourite stretches of the South West Coast path, and we're frequently walking along it on a winter Sunday...incidentally the famouse specimen of magnolia Campbellii at Overbecks is very close by also. Now, should we happen across an oil beetle the next time we're there, you, and indeed the entire FR community,will naturally be the first to know.

...which survive by hitching rides on miner bees as larvae and then eating the bees' eggs

Sounds more like a Democrat/Welfare Beetle to me...
