Bee Behavior and Fungal Infection

The Fate of an Infected Bee

• A bee was dragged alive by its colony, suffering from a deadly fungal infection that caused spores to cover her body.

• Instead of sealing the infected bee in wax, the worker bees chose to feed her fermented honey, which led to her abdomen swelling significantly.

• The workers then carried the infected bee far away from the colony to prevent the spread of the fungus.

• The fungus grew massively inside her body and eventually exploded, releasing spores into the environment.
