Draft started: 2012-07-04
RFC start: 2012-07-04

Motivation

An apiary in Harju County, Estonia

Having information about locations of  apiaries is important for several reasons, incl for the safety of humans (to avoid stinging) and also of bees (to avoid pesticide usage near apiaries).

There are millions of apiaries worldwide of which only a few are mapped at OSM. Seems like it's not clear enough for mappers, which tags should be used to describe an apiary (see "Tags currently in use").

For insect/bee hotels go to: Tag:man_made=insect_hotel

Proposed Tag

landuse=apiary

Key Value Element Comment
landuse apiary area node If an area is smaller than 5 m by 5 m, it would not be mapped as an area, but as a node.
