Beekeeping

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I am a beekeeper and this article about beekeeping interests me. The article seems like it's in great condition. It would be nice to add some stuff about sustainable beekeeping and it's agricultural benefits.

Evaluate the article
The Beekeeping wiki article is packed full of useful information. The lead could be better though. The lead doesn't include what you'll find later in the article, but it does give a good overview of what beekeeping is. The lead's diction is concise. The content on this page is more than exceptional. All of the information relates to the topic of beekeeping and all of the information is up-to-date. The tone of this article seems a bit unbalanced. There is more information in the "history" and "modern beekeeping" sections especially compared to sections lacking information like "losses" and "traditional beekeeping." There are multiple images per section and a "gallery" section as well. There are sources that could be updated to more recent times but most of the old articles still provide excellent information that hasn't changed, which is still needed for the article. Some word and names in the article still need to be cited and hyperlinked. The grammar could be better. The sections make sense in the order they are in. Overall, I think the article just needs a good cleaning to update articles, and fix grammar and citation mistakes.
