bee louse - Braula coeca Nitzsch common name: bee louse, bee fly, braulid Nitzsch (Insecta: Diptera: Braulidae) Nitzsch, is a wingless fly that lives as a commensalist in western honey bee, Linnaeus, colonies. Biology of the bee louse has been studied irregularly since the 1920s. The fly is presumed to be harmless to its host, though this point is debatable as in some countries bee louse control is recommended. Because no true economic damage can be attributed to the fly, it probably poses a minimal threat to the beekeeping industry.
