Honey bee sHSP are responsive to diverse proteostatic stresses and potentially promising biomarkers of honey bee stress

Abstract The pollination services provided by the honey bee are critical in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. Honey bee colonies in the United States have suffered from an increased rate of die-off in recent years, stemming from a complex set of interacting stresses that remain poorly descri...
