 | Colony collapse disorder was one of the Natural sciences good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Off-topic text at Pollinator decline
editThis text is very specifically about the subject of this article, not that one. This article is already too long, so I wouldn't add it, but here it is: Leo Breman (talk) 17:00, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Artificial water bodies, open urban areas, large industrial facilities including heavy industry, railways and associated installations, buildings and installations with a sociocultural purpose, camping, sports, playgrounds, golf courts, oilseed crops other than oilseed rape such as sunflower or linseed, some spring cereals and former forest clearcuts or windthrows were frequently associated with high honey bee colony losses.[1]
idem, I'll get rid of the entire section over there, put up a 'see also' thing. If people want to read about CCD, they can do that here, not in an article about something else. Leo Breman (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
Colony collapse disorder has in one theory been attributed to monoculture.[2][3] The agricultural practice of monoculture may lead to malnourishment, because a single plant species may not meet the nutrient requirements.[4]
Some studies have linked neonicotinoid pesticide exposure to bee health decline.[5][6] Pesticides interfere with honey bee brains,[5] affecting their ability to navigate.[7] Pesticides prevent bumble bees from collecting enough food to produce new queens.[6][8]
...And more: Leo Breman (talk) 17:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
SmartBees is a European research project of 16 entities (universities, research institutions and companies) funded by the EU, headquartered in Berlin. Its goal is to elicit causes of resistance to CCD, develop breeding to increase CCD resistance and to counteract the replacement of many native European bees with only two specific races.[9]
CoLOSS (Prevention of honey bee COlony LOSSes) is an international, nonprofit association headquartered in Bern, Switzerland, to "improve the well-being of bees at a global level", composed of researchers, veterinarians, agriculture extension specialists, and students from 69 countries. Their three core projects are standardization of methods for studying the honey bee, colony loss monitoring, and bridging research and practice.[10]

Newer research on neonicotinoids
editThere are quite a few more recent articles pointing to bee death from neonicotinoids:

- I didn't see any references to CCD in the abstracts at least. CCD is a pretty specific set of symptoms. KoA (talk) 03:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

- Result: Delisting per immediate general consensus. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:12, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
The article has 19 cn tags, at least one failed verification, and is in need of updating (a lot of the science uses 10-yr old sources). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:21, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delist as failing criterion 2 (sourcing) and criterion 3 (broadness, including up-to-date research). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:26, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delist as someone involved in the article. I've been sporadically and slowly working on updating the article with scientific reliable sources, but I will admit it is not in a great state right now where I would consider it qualifying for GA. One of the key problems I've run into is people adding in sources on general bee health issues and confusing that with CCD, which has very specific symptoms outlined in the sourced part of Colony_collapse_disorder#Signs_and_symptoms. Old sources are not inherently bad because a lot of the CCD research and reviews were back from around 10 years ago, and I haven't seen updates recently that showed a major sea-change in anything on the entomology front. Definitely willing to do some heavy lifting on it in a month or two though (or ping me then to give me a little kick). KoA (talk) 20:34, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delist Unfortunately I too must agree, even though many of the Sources are ten odd years old, that does not make them invalid, it's just that some of them could be better, and some more up to date info. could be added with recent research as sources, but generally not changing the CCD overview: But it does need to be cleaned up; this will take a bit of time, I have seen wiki editors not overly familiar with a subject and make edits throughout a page that takes a long time to fix. I would say with this now on the radar of some of us, we should be able to fix this page in the next couple or so months. Bibby (talk) 20:55, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
