Quick Suggestions

This is a really strong article overall with lots of details. I would just suggest in the Larvae Diet section explaining why being forced to feed on the hive floor is such a bad thing. Is it because there are less resources there? Richywutang2018 (talk) 05:21, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edits for Behavioral Ecology Class

I have added sections on geographic range, food resources, parental care, life history, enemies, mating, physiology, and interactions with humans. In addition to adding these sections and subsections, I also provided more information in the introduction section. I edited some of the previous author's work and rearranged their organization. I removed some information that was not cited and could not be verified. I also added about twelve new references and citations to the page.

I am open to suggestions and corrections! CR.Tracy (talk) 00:55, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article was very thorough, well organized, and very well written and sourced. I therefore could not find many things that needed to be changed. In reviewing your article, I focused on grammar and wording. I edited in commas in several sentences and also reworded a couple sentences to improve their clarity. Additionally, I added a few more links to other Wikipedia pages. EmilyKathryn (talk) 04:22, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review for Behavioral Ecology

This is a very comprehensive article! I didn't have too much to change, but I did move the section on bald brood disorder to the pest of beekeepers section and add a picture of infested honeycomb. I think the mating section might flow better if it weren't divided into male/male interactions and male/female interactions, but I'm not so sure. Maybe the temperature section could be combined with the sound section, and mate choice combined with (or moved closer to) lekking. Great job on this article!

Peer Review for Class

Hi, good and thorough article! There were a lot of sections with a lot of good information. I edited the lead section to make it a little less choppy and easier to read. I also deleted some information about the greater wax moth because it didn't seem very relevant to this article. I want to learn about the lesser wax moth, not mostly about how it's different from the greater wax moth and found the greater wax moth information distracting. I also reworded the geographic range section because I was a little concerned about unintentional plagiarism there since the wording was a little funny. I also made just general grammar changes across the article. Lastly, I removed the template message that said the article didn't properly represent a worldwide view. It was placed there in April 2010 and the new changes were factual and neutral, so I thought the issue was fixed well. Great job and cool moth! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mullenm05 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
