Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture/Beekeeping task force

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 related articles, and centralize 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".

Guidance

 * Pieces of advice will be listed here
 * When discussing A. Mellifera, edit Apis mellifera, rather than Honey bee.
