Hi,
first post on the tagging list so I'll try to be short.
Apiary tagging is still "in limbo" - and has been so for some years
now as I can see from the talk.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/apiary
How can I get this subject moving again for a vote, or get more people
involved as to decide the best practice?
Personally, I wouldn't worry especially about voting. Taginfo suggests
the following uses of apiary and beehive etc.:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=apiary#values
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=beehive#values
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=craft&value=beekeeper
Based on that, if you're tagging an actual physical beehive I'd suggest
"man_made=beehive"; if you're tagging an area where there are lots of
beehives I'd suggest "landuse=apiary".
(to try and answer the other question) FWIW at least where I am in the
UK we don't see the "continental" movement of bees that happens in the
US as beekeepers move their hives around following various crops,
although a quick web search suggests that there is a pollination
services industry here. I can't comment on other countries, though
wikipedia suggests that "migratory beekeeping" is mainly a US thing.
However, even when hives are moved around for pollination don't they
still have a nominal "home"?
Cheers,
Andy
