"Antimicrobial defences increase with sociality in bees" - "We found that increases in group size and genetic relatedness were strongly correlated with increasing antimicrobial strength. The antimicrobials of even the most primitive semi-social species were an order of magnitude stronger that those of solitary species, suggesting a point of no return, beyond which disease control was

essential. Our results suggest that selection by microbial pathogens was critical to thre evolution of sociality and requi.red the production of strong, front-line antimicrobial defences."

"("Unifying external and internal immune defences." looks like a good source.)"
