Eufriesea purpurata
- ... that a malaria control program in rural Brazil attracted droves of annoying, colorful bees who collect pesticide (pictured) into people's homes? Source: "100% responded that there had been no house-visiting bees until the malaria control spray programme was begun. ... Noise produced by bee activity ... was a notable disturbance to 76% of the families interviewed" - https://www.nature.com/articles/297062a0
Created by Zanahary (talk). Self-nominated at 06:43, 3 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Eufriesea purpurata; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new enough and long enough. I wonder if a shorter hook about these bees collecting pesticides might be possible. AGFing on the first two sources and #8. Where does #4 say "strong"? I am not sure that we should infer "95% reported disturbance" from "5% of the interviewed had no issue". Where does the 2mg and 4% number come from? No copyvio or plagiarism that I can see. Hook is mostly supported by the sauces, except the "colorful" bit. QPQ is a bit basic. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
