A brief video of a Bee Fly, Bombylius major, laying eggs on a soil heap with a colony of mining bees, Andrena nigroaenea. The video is 8 times slower than normal. Watch how the fly swings its body to fling its eggs against the bee nests.

Just watched one do this on hutchinsons bank croydon, do the eggs hatch a maggot that then searches for a bee??
