We may be able to use some of the new materials, but they'll need to be added in more carefully.

[[User:Dyanega|Dyanega]] ([[User talk:Dyanega|talk]]) 20:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC) == The "As commercial pollinators" section needs work == I don't really make edits to wikipedia, so I want to avoid going in and randomly deleting a paragraph, but something should be changed here. The second paragraph is full of bull and misinformation. For example, "feral honey bees declined dramatically in the US, and they are now almost absent" is a demonstrably false statement, and the citation for that sentence is an article from 1994. In addition the part " In 2010 invertebrate iridescent virus and the fungus Nosema ceranae were shown to be in every killed colony, and deadly in combination" is a disputed and misleading statement that wrongly implies that the virus and fungus cause CCD. The 2nd to last statement is also misleading and the last sentence is also disputable, with a questionable reference from Radio Télévision Suisse. Anyways, it's not clear to me why colony collapse disorder is discussed in this section rather than it's own dedicated one. I would like to propose the "As commercial pollinators" be scrubbed of all this colony collapse bs. It would be better just to link to the colony collapse disorder page, which is much better put together. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/144.39.133.137|144.39.133.137]] ([[User talk:144.39.133.137#top|talk]]) 17:01, 20 December 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> == Bees can fly == This was in the controversy section, which I deleted: ::According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. ::The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. * The idea that bees can't fly applied to the bumble bee, not to bees in general. * It was based on incomplete data. See http://www.snopes.com/science/bumblebees.asp * The referenced source doesn't support it.
