Talk:Small hive beetle

message: There's no indication how the beetle gets from location A to location B. Can they fly? I don't know the answer to this, and I was sort of expecting to find it in the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcwren (talk • contribs) 00:36, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

This doesn't seem to belong in this article. Just seems a bit too specific. It's like saying in an article about robbery to "Contact the 14th Precinct."

You are right and it seems to be edited by someone -maybe you. There's no such sentence anymore.Neophyrigian (talk) 09:06, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The link for the source "The Small Hive Beetle Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech, June 1999, accessed Sep 2005" is no more valid. It can be accessed via archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20070314153020/http://www.ento.vt.edu/~fell/apiculture/hivebeetle/ I'm not sure how to edit in such situation, so I'm leaving it to be edited by a more experienced friend.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neophyrigian (talk • contribs) 08:59, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Virginia Tech Source

message: Under the Sub-Section "Distribution", we have the below four sentences; two References are given, the first which isn't even a proper Wiki reference by any stretch of the imagination and the second appears to be a dead link. There is a citation request going back to 2017! So, without any proper References being provided, these unsourced sentences need to be removed; I'll wait for a short while to wait for feedback, and then hopefully wiki standard references. 
:The movement of migratory beekeepers from Florida may have transported the beetle to other states. Recent findings also indicate transport of the beetles in packages.Mark Welsch, Beekeeper and member of the Omaha Bee Club added Iowa and Nebraska from personal observation and discussions with other beekeepers. In Canada, the small hive beetle has been detected in Manitoba (2002 and 2006), Alberta (2006), Québec (2008, 2009), Ontario (2010), British Columbia (2015), and New Brunswick (2017). In the Prairie Provinces, measures were taken to control the pest, and small hive beetles failed to establish a population. It is still to be determined whether the small hive beetle has been able to establish a resident population in Ontario or Québec.

message: "Since 2015 the beetle is present in Southern Italy (Calabria and Sicily) and some areas have been quarantined"
Here is a citation, straight from the italian ministry of health website.

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Behavioral Ecology 2024

message: Hello, I am leaving a peer review on your article! I think that this article is very interesting and was enjoyable to read. It does a good job of covering a wide variety of topics! I made some edits to your article as well. Throughout the article, I noticed some minor grammatical errors, so I fixed those. There was also a spot that mentioned that peppermint extract or candy could be used to control the beetle in the control section. This was not backed up with a source, so I added a citation needed marker. There are also several other citation needed markers from other editors that I would suggest resolving. I also added more information in the control section. Particularly, I added information about how fungi could be used as a form of biocontrol. Angelina2024 (talk) 03:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, I added several links to various terms throughout the article that readers could click so they could find more information about them. Angelina2024 (talk) 03:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: This article is well-written and has a lot of interesting information under each of the sections. There are pieces of information that are missing citations (citation needed markers), so I would make sure to add the references. I also suggest expanding on the Migration and Enemies sections. For example, adding an explanation as to why the beetles prefer long distance flights or information about any defenses they might have against predators will elevate these sections. I also moved the information under the Regulation section to the Distribution section because it was information about the distribution of the beetle in Australia.

thread_title:  Peer review 

message: This was a very well-written article, with a lot of information and good organization. I added references and citations to the Distribution section for the beetle being found in the Philippines, Life history for the information about South Africa, and Control for information about peppermint oil. The page had citations needed markers for most of this information. I could not find a source stating that the life cycle information we know are primarily from studies in South Africa. There are still many places throughout the page where citations are still needed. Alexiathia (talk) 04:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
