Interesting article. However, there are fundamental problems with sourcing across the entire article.
  • The article relies primarily on only two sources: the industry website, (American Beekeeping Federation), and interviews (via Vassar College).
  • Two sections lack citations, notably the important "History" section.
  • Numerous statements/paragraphs of the article need in-line citations (other than from the ABF/Vassar sources).
  • There are numerous references to people/events from the year 2012. This article will have dated information only five weeks from now. Prburley (talk) 13:57, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
  • No action taken on issues despite notification on nominator's talk page at time of above review. It's been over two and a half weeks without response. It appears this article and nomination have both been abandoned, and it cannot be approved as is. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:24, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
