Talk:East African lowland honey bee

message: I turned the last two paragraphs into one, as they were partially redundant and seemed to be referring more to africanized bees than african ones. Michael1115 (talk) 20:22, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The article says "A. m. capensis workers increase in number within a host colony. This leads to the death of the host colony on which they depend. An important factor causing the death of a colony seems to be the dwindling numbers of A. m. scutellata workers that perform foraging duties (A. m. capensis workers are greatly under-represented in the foraging force of an infected colony) owing to death of the queen, and, before queen death, competition for egg laying between A. m. capensis workers and the queen. When the colony dies, the capensis females will seek out a new host colony."
It is not clear what are the mechanics behind the collapse of the host colony. It is not clear why workers are under-represented and why the queen should die.

thread_title:  Unclear explanation 

message: Hi all- I added the section on foraging behavior and its evolution. Please tell me what you think! I am an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis and I am editing this for a behavioral ecology Wikipedia class.

thread_title:  New sections 

message: * italicize species name
* In ‘Energetic benefits of warm nectar,’ the sentence, “The bumblebee’s ability to differentiate flower warmth by color and target warmer flowers is one noted precedent for nectar temperature selection in honeybees,” can be included in paragrpahs above
* In the last paragraph under “Significance of foraging behavior in worker bees,” the very first part seems unnatural. Is using a semi-colon correct?
* Is the information first paragraph in ‘evolution’ all from one source?
* In the first paragraph under ‘Evolution,’ period should be outside the parenthesis. 
* Put access dates and url to the page that the paper you cited came from. 
* Write something in the talk page so people know what you changed and when
Overall, the article is easy to understand. Pocketkings (talk) 08:07, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Peer Review

message: * The intro is a bit wordy; some of the sentences can be more concise.
* "Character" seems to be a poor heading, and should not be first.  This section also needs more citations.  It's also rather disjointed (half on stings, half on honey production)
* I'm not sure that you need all the in text citations under "Energetic Benefits of Warm Nectar," since they're all from the same source.  This occurs elsewhere.  I find them to get in the way more than they help.
* Only the first word of a header and proper nouns within the header should be capitalized
* Use active voice!
* Many of your sentences can be more concise
* Evolution section needs citations
* I reduced the bulk in some very wordy sentences, but there's still a lot to be done.
* Call the animal the same thing throughout the article. In "Parasitization," you refer to the animal by an abbreviated name which does not appear elsewhere.
* Overall, I think this article has a large number of minor issues which you can easily fix.  I do not believe the article has any major flaws.
