Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title-Carniolan honey bee
 * Article Evaluation
 * On the Wiki Project it is considered to be a C class article. The article is written neutrally, it lists information about the bee and speaks about the origin, qualities, anatomy and appearance, and their behavioral characteristics. The citations are reliable but one of them was visited in 2006 so newer information could probably be available. The last edit was made in about 2017. I would like to incorporate information and go deeper into the subject.

Option 2

 * Article title-Brood comb
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article speaks as to what the purpose of brood combs are and it is very general. I feel like more information could be brought into this article and as to why they are shaped how they are and what is the purpose of that shape. The article is written in an informative manner and touches basis on the aspects of brood combs. In the introduction a citation is needed and in the "size" portion of the article another citation is needed. This article does need some work in the aspect of crediting sources and the input of more information. The talk page has very little communication on it and it dates back to 2005 and 2010.

Option 3

 * Article title- Queen Bee acid
 * Article Evaluation-This article was very short and straight to the point. It didn't explain the process as to where it comes from and what are its uses in nature and just goes to speak of the supposed health benefits. The article also provides information about reported benefits of royal jelly acid. It is written neutrally as it does speak about the United States FDA taking legal action against companies who claim of health benefits of marketed royal jelly products. I think there is a lot to add to this stub article as it could be easier to read if the steps to the production of queen bee acid were explained and more information as to what the acid does and controversy of it could be incorporated. This article is very cut and dry and there were many resources used to produce it, but I feel as if more information could have been written than what was. I would like to provide a more informative article and gain a deeper understanding of Queen Bee acid and condense all there is to know of it into this stub.
