Colony collapse disorder

edit

Colony collapse disorder is a strong article due to the inclusion of the key elements which are necessary for a quality article. The lead section is clear and concise with its introduction into what colony collapse disorder(CCD) is, where it occurs, and why it is gaining public notice. Following this section, the article branches off into a well-structured range of topics that encompass CCD such as: history, symptoms, and causes. The majority of the article is dedicated to the causes of CCD, as there is no singular cause but multiple factors to be addressed. Although this causes the article to be unbalanced in how much information is available in each section, the article's focus on the causes of CCD is appropriate due to the causes being the most significant aspect of CCD currently. The coverage of information within this article is neutral, with no apparent bias. The article includes a total of 205 references. Some of these come from magazines or news stations; however, the majority are from research articles and scientific journals. Although there are edits which can be made to improve this article, it currently stands as a quality overview of CCD.
