The heat shock response and humoral immune response are mutually antagonistic in honey bees

Abstract The honey bee is of paramount importance to humans in both agricultural and ecological settings. Honey bee colonies have suffered from increased attrition in recent years, stemming from complex interacting stresses. Defining common cellular stress responses elicited by these stressors repre...
