In 1929 when a cargo ship accidentally imported a bunch of fire ant in Mobile, Alabama they had no idea they were starting a chain reaction that has resulted in a 70% loss of bees in America.
The fire ants caused so much damage, in 1998 they released the Phorid Fly. The Phorid fly has been linked to colony collapse disorder.
Below is diagram making the connection. Its small but you can click on it to make it bigger :)
