  == Incorporating other articles into this article ==  I'm looking for information on bees. I found the information about one aspect of the bee colony, ie the queen scattered around on four seperate page entitled   #Queen bee #Virgin queen (with a disambig. from Elizabeth I of England) #Piping queens (describing the noise angry females of the species make)  #Supersedure (describing the process by which one queen replaces another)  Why spread all this stuff around when it can be neatly and conveniently placed in one article? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. Anyone looking up bees wants the info in one place. To have different articles for hives, swarms, piping queens etc etc etc is superfluous.   I'm not suggesting that any of the information is superfluous, just the superfluity of seperate articles. If anyone objects, they can put it all back. I'll leave the other pages where they are for a few days, but will transfer any discussion pertaining to the other three topics listed above to this page. Unfortunately, the history of the editting will be lost.
