Peer Review

I think this article is well written and certain sections are explained in great detail! I mainly focused on the organization as I was editing the article. I made Behavior, Interactions With Other Species, and Human Importance broader sections with other sections as subsections within these broader headings. There were few grammatical errors I noticed.

I have very little to critique about this page. The sentences flow well, and I like the pictures. I have changed a few words to clarify a few sentences. I have also added a few hyperlinks. The Agriculture section repeated itself a few times, so I restructured it. I moved the Diet section out of the Interactions With Other Species section since it didn't fit the theme. Finally, I question if the mutualism section needs to be there. Perhaps it should be combined with he Agriculture section since they both involve pollination. Alternatively, the mutualism section could be expanded by talking about how each party benefits, or if this species of bee has a special relationship with the plants that it pollinates. Overall, I thought this article was well made.Floyd Burney (talk) 19:10, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The overview of this article is insubstantial for getting a summary of this bee’s characteristics. Similarly, the taxonomy and phylogeny section could use more information on the evolutionary history of this species and where it diverted from its last ancestor. The other sections, however, I have very little to critique. I added hyperlinks where necessary (e.g. taxonomy and phylogeny section), but generally the information is well explained and referenced. I added the conservation status to the right hand box because B. lapidarius is a nearly threatened species.Orchidabar (talk) 03:38, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
