Social immunity in the honey bee: do immune-challenged workers enter enforced or self-imposed exile? (2022)
Journal Article
Conroy, T. E., & Holman, L. (2022). Social immunity in the honey bee: do immune-challenged workers enter enforced or self-imposed exile?. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 76(2), Article 32. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-022-03139-z

Animals living in large colonies are especially vulnerable to infectious pathogens and may therefore have evolved additional defences. Eusocial insects supplement their physiological immune systems with ‘social immunity’, a set of adaptations that im...
