Our experiments are consistent with honeybee drones
operating at their physiological limits and thus being very vulnerable
to stress factors that are normally controlled by their social
environment. We found that even relatively mild stressors, such
as a slight increase in temperature and a mild immune challenge,
immediately compromise sperm quality.
