No worries Jason, happy to keep posting the examples that come to mind (finally my knowledge of obscure insect behaviours is useful in EA!). This is a recent review of bumblebee cuckoos that could be useful. I also found another study indicating bumblebee cuckoos actively change their odor profiles to maintain control over the hives workers.
I agree, bumblebees look amazingly cute when rolling balls around! The string pulling experiment done by the same lab also has a nice video.
