Welcome to the Beekeeping task force of WikiProject Agriculture. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Beekeeping.

Our Goal

• To improve wikipedia's coverage of beekeeping realted articles, and centralise discussion on producing a comprehensive directory of information on a fascinating craft.

Our Scope

• We look at articles about beekeeping itself, about tools used for beekeeping, and about "products of the hive".
