Review (criteria)	Support Meets all criteria including geocoding. The only image I could see in the category that shows this process. --Muhammad 06:56, 7 March 2009 (UTC)  Question What in the picture is specific to the "drone" part of the scope? As for a scope of simply "Apis mellifera (Honey bee) hatching", I think this series would make a good VI set: If we can get them geocoded, of course, but the uploader seems to be active. --Eusebius (talk) 08:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)  Comment Drones have larger oculi compositi (eyes) and are larger as well as more compact --Richard Bartz (talk) 15:56, 7 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks for the info. The bee depicted is the set is not a drone then, right? Is it reasonable to have both a VI for the drone, and a VI set for honey bees in general? Or would scope inclusion be a problem here? Opinions welcome. --Eusebius (talk) 16:34, 7 March 2009 (UTC) No that's females, drones are males --Richard Bartz (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
