Hi. Just so you know; while the technically preferred spelling of "bumblebee" is indeed "bumble bee", it is still the less common spelling variant among authoritative sources at this stage of things. As far as I can tell, this is primarily because non-American English speakers almost invariably use "bumblebee" as a single word still today, and Wikipedia has a fair bit of inertia in such regards. While it may not be consistent, this is one case where it is far easier to accede to the majority usage. The use of "honeybee" as a single word shows more clear signs of being phased out, even outside of the US, so I and other editors have been working to make the various WP articles internally consistent in using the "honey bee" variant. Perhaps that example will eventually be followed by a transition to "bumble bee", but I don't see it happening soon. Peace, Dyanega (talk) 22:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
