Well I had to post this hilariously alarming link about Colony Collapse Syndrome:
“The cutting-edge technique the team used to isolate the virus may find applications with human diseases as well.

So exactly what human application will this have? Grinding up cancer patients? “Excuse me, can we borrow your arm for a test.” Not likely!
