Bombus hyperboreus

• ... that the Bombus hyperboreus is one of the few existing parasitic bee species?

Created/expanded by Megxb (talk). Self-nominated at 16:50, 1 October 2015 (UTC).

• Great work with your first DYK nomination! The expansion is from 480 characters to 8,054 characters, which is definitely enough. The article is neutral and cites sources with inline citations. I may be missing something obvious here, but I cannot find the hook fact mentioned in the article. sst✈ 09:58, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

• Ah I think it may have been removed. I can change the hook fact to the Bombus hyperboreus is a parasitic bee that invades other species' nests maybe? Does that work? Megxb (talk) 03:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

• Yeah, change it. sst✈ 08:33, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

@SSTflyer: Here's a possible alternative hook: Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:00, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that the queen Bombus hyperboreus kills the queen of another bumblebee species and takes over its colony?

• Completing my review: the hook is short enough, neutral, interesting, and verified to an inline citation in the article. sst✈^discuss 09:03, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
