Dave Goulson
edit- ... that bee expert Dave Goulson jokingly blames the extinction of the British short-haired bumblebee (pictured) on Adolf Hitler?

New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ needed. Image is public domain. A few issues: In the first sentence under Bumblebee Conservation Trust, footnote 1 confirms that he founded it but doesn't mention the year. About the hook, this statement in his book seems to be totally tongue-in-cheek. If mentioned at all in the article (not to mention the hook), it should be qualified as "he jokingly said" rather than presented as a statement of fact. Yoninah (talk) 23:29, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
