The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

- A mere handful of older texts refer to "apic acid", apparently a component of bee-stings. Equinox ◑ 17:32, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- apic acid is easily citable, although noone bothers to define it. A Google Books search for "apic" is flooded with some business jargon bullshit, and "apic" "bee" gives many books on bees with "J. Apic. Res.", whatever that is.__Gamren (talk) 18:31, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- That's the standard abbreviation for the Journal of Apicultural Research. I agree that outside of the attestable name of the acid, it is nowhere to be found. Therefore this is RFV failed and converted to an only-in entry. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 02:10, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
