Adults die with freezing temperatures
What do people think about adding in a sentence indicating that adults usually die after the first or second frost in winter in climates where it gets that low https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-95376-x Corevette (talk) 19:44, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Is there text you're specifically citing about overwintering in the paper? I only see one mention of winter, and it's just that adults laying eggs into early winter in some instances. Might be better to pull directly from overwintering studies on this subject if anything is going to be added. KoA (talk) 20:39, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

"Potential benefits" section
The entire "Potential benefits" section is sourced only to an article published on the Atlas Obscura website. Much of what Atlas Obscura publishes is user-submitted content and should not be considered reliable per WP:UGC. However, Atlas Obscura also publishes staff-written articles. I the articles posted under https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles (which include this cited source) are staff-written, but I am not sure. My gut reaction is that this "potential benefits" section seems a bit dubious or at least undue. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:41, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @BarrelProof I looked into it. There is reliable evidence that bees use honeydew excrement to make honey. That being said, I agree that it is WP:UNDUE to give it a level 1 heading. 🏵️ Etrius ( Us) 21:30, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
