STRANGE WORLD: Zom-bees Attack America - Seriously

As if we didn't have enough to worry about, what with the eve of American world domination creeping slowly closer, the world warming, the middle-east just as bad as it was BEFORE we spent trillions of dollars trying to improve it, we now have a new enemy - zombie bees.

That's right. Those evil things that fly around and sting you are being zombified. Kyle's written about how movies can teach you to survive this freakish terror of undead, brainless hordes attacking and, hell, it might just be starting with insects. This is the beginning of a new zombie Shyamalan twist.

Really what's happening is that a fly lands on the bee and injects it with parasitic larvae which, a la ALIEN, hatch and burrow through the bee from the inside, fucking up its neural pathways first so it's just a sharp-tailed bug without brains hovering around lights at night until finally it dies.

This means a couple things - 1. the bee population, which is already dangerously low (I say dangerous because bees are known to do something called "pollination" which essentially helps grow and sustain all plantlife which, as we already know, has enough challenges facing it) will be getting even lower. This has been seen in California, Oregon, and has just been found in Washington. 2.Natural zombification has been proven possible, as has the H.R. Giger/Ridley Scott idea of a parasite which plants its larvae inside you to eat their way out.

3. Finally, this means that the insect perfect storm is brewing. I have 3 words for you - zombie - killer - bees.

Yeah. So for now, follow the progress of the zom-bees on zombeewatch.org.

And prey they don't find out some way to infect you.Though if it should break over to humans, just rest assured that our armed forces and police will be ready to step up to the encroaching hordes of walking dead.
