  6. "Prior field observers noticed honeybees actively foraging from rust-infected flowers, seemingly packing the spores around their legs just like pollen and flying the infected haul back to the hive. And so, the bees, which were introduced to Australia to act as commercial pollinators, could now be disease vectors."
