[Womble]

Just read this newspaper article on the scarily titled "Colony Death".

Beware, it apparently involves a combination of virusses and fungi, and the scientific method employed in this research involved smashing bees up on a desk to make "bee paste" 

Still, I figured it may be of interest to folks here.
