TLDR
This work characterized the CHCs developmental profiles in the honeybee workers during an entire molting cycle and revealed remarkable differences in the relative quantities of CHCs, thus discriminating pupae, developing and newly-ecdysed adults, and foragers from each other.About:

TL;DR: Acute endpoints of proposed additional test species, the buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris and the red mason bee Osmia bicornis, do not improve the risk assessment for the entire group and might not apply to other insecticides such as neonicotinoids.

The origin and evolution of queen and fertility signals in Corbiculate bees
Ricardo Caliari Oliveira,Cintia Akemi Oi,Mauricio Meirelles Castro do Nascimento,Ayrton Vollet-Neto,Denise A. Alves,Maria Lúcia C. Campos,Fabio S. Nascimento,Tom Wenseleers +7 more
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of fertility-linked compounds across 16 species of solitary and eusocial bee species suggests that queen signals in Corbiculate bees are likely derived from ancestral fertility- linked compounds present in solitary bees that lacked reproductive castes.

Evidence for passive chemical camouflage in the parasitic mite Varroa destructor
TL;DR: The chemical profile of V. destructor was adjusted within 3 to 9 h after switching hosts, demonstrating that passive camouflage is a highly efficient, fast and flexible way for the mite to adapt to a new host profile when moving between different host life stages or colonies.

Polistes smithii vs. Polistes dominula: the contrasting endocrinology and epicuticular signaling of sympatric paper wasps in the field
TL;DR: The divergence of endocrine and chemical profiles within Polistes offers an unforeseen opportunity to study the evolution of proximate mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity.
