Bismark Palm with fronds splitting at trunk and drooping

Our beautiful Bismark Palm suddenly seems to be drooping  The lowest fronts slowly sag to the ground and disconnect from the trunk - then the next level seems to do it.  Looking up through all the fronts seem to have split at the middle.  What can I do to help it

Welcome to PalmTalk!  From the sounds of it, probably a weevil infestation, but a picture would help a lot.
