[edit] Purpose
Prior to the creation of this WikiProject, content on bee-related topics was added to pages based on where a particular user knew to look. It was contributed in good-faith but without a clear plan for where a topic is best discussed or for how the various pages interrelated.
The intent of this page is to provide some high-level planning about what content is appropriate in the related pages of Category:WikiProject Beekeeping articles. While there will always be some overlap, this will provide a rough road-map as we reorganize the pages for increased readability and understanding. Please edit this page aggressively while we work out the best overall structure.
[edit] Structure
[edit] Articles about the insect
Bee should contain:
- an overview of the family of "bees"
- clear links to each of the major sub-groupings
- focus on the differences between them
- a reference to beekeeping but probably only in the sub-section on honeybees
- a reference to Pollinator decline
Honey bee should contain:
- an overview of the various species of honey bees
- clear links to each of the major species
- a discussion of beekeeping but focused on those aspects which are reasonably common across all species
- an overview of the products of the hive (since those are also relatively common across all species)
Species-specific pages such as Apis mellifera should contain:
Race-specific pages such as Apis mellifera capensis should contain:
Brood (honeybee) should contain:
Queen bee should contain:
Swarming (honeybee) should contain:
Honeybee life cycle should contain:

[edit] Articles about the profession
Beekeeping should contain:
Equipment-related pages such as Beehive (beekeeping) should contain:
