Ecological importance of bees

unnecessary fork, editors of the bee article say there is nothing worth incorporating and have even rejected a link to this page in the "see also" section. Anything worth salvaging in this article can be included in the bee article. Pirate^Argh!!1! 07:08, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article might have been an attempt to write an essay with an editor's opinion on whether we should worry if bee populations are greatly reduced. At any rate, its content is just a jumble of points that are properly covered in other articles. Johnuniq (talk) 09:10, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to bee article because it would be a shame to see something that was beginning to look like a good article become deleted instead of at least a redirect. GVnayR (talk) 13:58, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per editors of bee article. This doesn't really add much - the author doesn't even distinguish between 'bees' and 'honeybees', and it's really the latter this 'article' is about... David V Houston (talk) 14:46, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'd certainly welcome an article whose content matches the title, but this WP:OR isn't it. Clarityfiend (talk) 15:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (per WP:CHEAP) any useful info to colony collapse disorder. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:41, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Commment There is nothing worth merging to either bee or colony collapse disorder. Pirate^Argh!!1! 04:30, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
