@Shyamal and Rsrikanth05: I have found some link which could be useful. feel free to add more stuff... §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that you completely avoid newspaper sources for an article of this nature and use apiculture guidebooks as well as journals such as the Indian Bee Journal. There are also numerous compendiums for agriculture in India that are reliable. Shyamal (talk) 08:43, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What about Govt sources? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:23, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Would be fine if it is either peer-reviewed or produced by top-notch institutions (and not plagiarised from elsewhere). Shyamal (talk) 12:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I will skip using newspapers for all statistical data. But I might use them to write about some newer techniques or such. Not sure yet.... Will check the journals which Shyamal mentioned. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:50, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bar Chart vs Line chart

[edit]

I was trying this line chart using Template:Line chart. But something is going wrong. @Rsrikanth05: See code in text below

  Beeswax
  Natural Honey

@Dharmadhyaksha: I fixed your chart and added a new option. See which one you like. Both the charts have the same problem over existing that you cannot see the value. You need to hover over bar to see it. - Vivvt (Talk) 17:51, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Vivvt: Yeah! These two are better. Thanks! I prefer the second vertical bar charts and have tried fiddling to add caption to it. Is that not possible? Also, can the whole bar chart be collapsed? As it occupies lot of screen space, lets make it visible only to the interested people who will click "show" and then see it. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:53, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Check now. - Vivvt (Talk) 06:54, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
