Hi, DjangoSan. Nice to have you aboard. One thing to point out, however, before you continue with your editing; reliance on popular literature is going to cause conflicts, as it did on the bumblebee page. You need to use primary literature if you are going to contribute to taxonomy or classification. For bees, please see the following reference:

  • Michener, C.D. (2000). The Bees of the World. Johns Hopkins University Press.

You'll notice that in this work (and in others that preceded it), there is only a single genus, Bombus in the tribe Bombini - this has been the case for over 20 years now (since 1985), even if the "popular" literature has not recognized it. Trust me, I'm a professional hymenopteran taxonomist, and if you have any questions or problems, just ask me before you make any edits, and I'll be happy to clarify things.
