AbstractThe biological concept of stress originated in mammals, where a
“General Adaptation Syndrome” describes a set of common integrated
physiological responses to diverse noxious agents. Physiological mechanisms
of stress in mammals have been extensively investigated through diverse
behavioral and physiological studies. One of the main elements of the
stress response pathway is the endocrine hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal
(HPA) axis, which underlies the “fight-or-flight” response via a hormonal
cascade of catecholamines and corticoid hormones. Physiological responses
to stress have been studied more recently in insects: they involve biogenic
amines (octopamine, dopamine), neuropeptides (allatostatin, corazonin) and
metabolic hormones (adipokinetic hormone, diuretic hormone). Here, we
review elements of the physiological stress response that are or may be
specific to honey bees, given the economical and ecological impact of this
species. This review proposes a hypothetical integrated honey bee stress
pathway somewhat analogous to the mammalian HPA, involving the brain and,
particularly, the neurohemal organ *corpora cardiaca* and peripheral
targets, including energy storage organs (fat body and crop). We discuss
how this system can organize rapid coordinated changes in metabolic
activity and arousal, in response to adverse environmental stimuli. We
highlight physiological elements of the general stress responses that are
specific to honey bees, and the areas in which we lack information to
stimulate more research into how this fascinating and vital insect responds
to stress.
