Honey bee (Apis mellifera) drones survive oxidative stress due to increased tolerance instead of avoidance or repair of oxidative damage
EXPERIMENTAL GERONTOLOGY, 83, 15–21.
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / drug effects; Bees / physiology; Lipid Peroxidation; Longevity; Male; Oxidative Stress; Paraquat / adverse effects
TL;DR:
This first study of oxidative stress in male honey bees suggests that survival of an acute oxidative stressor is due to tolerance, not prevention or repair, of oxidative damage to lipids, and demonstrates colony differences in oxidative stress resistance that might be useful for breeding stress-resistant honey bees.

Reduced cellular immune response in social insect lineages
BIOLOGY LETTERS, 12(3).
Contributors: M. López-Uribe n, W. Sconiers n, S. Frank n , R. Dunn n & D. Tarpy n
author keywords: disease transmission; sociality; encapsulation; phylogenetic correction
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Body Size; Immunity, Cellular; Insecta / immunology; Models, Biological; Phylogeny; Social Behavior; Temperature
TL;DR:
The findings suggest that insects living in large societies may rely more on behavioural mechanisms, such as hygienic behaviours, than on immune function to reduce the risk of disease transmission among nest-mates.
