I added this page to the category Hymenoptera of South America and adjusted the headings to be consistent across the page and the rest of Wikipedia.

The nest section is very thorough, as well as the mating section, and overall your article gives a clear idea of this species. I like how you found a map and good photo for the organism. The text was clear and readable. I would recommend adding to the description and identification. Right now it is not very specific and it’s also unbalanced.

WashU Student Review

I made very minor changes to the grammar and and sentence structure of the introduction and taxonomy paragraph. Overall, however, the introduction was solid and included an interesting fact that made me want to read more.I added a second paragraph to the Communication section. I found an article discussing the use of sound frequency to recruit members of foraging parties towards high-quality food sources. I also added a citation and added more examples in the Predator section. The paragraph was formerly missing any citations.

The page covers a wide variety of important topics, though some of them are relatively short. I would work on expanding those that only have one or two sentences. cratermann (talk) 22:36, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Peer Review

This article was overall extremely comprehensive and covered an array of subjects regarding the Melipona bicolor species. In order to improve it, I increased the number of headings, separating subjects that seemed to be too vague into smaller, more specific, subsections. For example, I created a “Nest Interior” subsection, as there is a solid paragraph of information solely on the inside of the M. bicolor nest. Furthermore, the communication heading could be broken down into different forms of communication (chemical and sound) to make the sections more specific in their information. I also increased the number of hyperlinks within the article to connect it further to other Wikipedia articles. Other than these more significant formatting changes, I edited some sentence structures and corrected spelling errors/typos. mira.tbaum (talk) 22:54, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
