Dufour's gland possible role in the evolution of sting morphology and function in hover wasps (Hymenoptera Stenogastrinae).
9
TL;DR: In hover wasps the Dufour's gland secretion is attached to the egg during oviposition but can be also channeled to the outside via the sting when it is collected by adult females for larval rearing or construction of the nest ant guards.

Structures, properties, and functions of the stings of honey bees and paper wasps: a comparative study.
TL;DR: The structures, properties and functions of honey bee stings and paper wasp stings are investigated to examine their behaviors of penetrating into different materials and slow motion analyses of their insertion process.

A 3 year old baby with wasp stings-induced multiorgan dysfunction
TL;DR: A 3 year old healthy female baby had been stung with a swarm of wasps on her entire body while passing a coconut tree containing wasp nest at Chakoria, Cox’s Bazar, and was treated with injection cefotaxime, flucloxacillin, hydrocortisone and dopamine.

TL;DR: In this article, the Young's modulus and hardness in the cross section of different segments of honeybee stingers were obtained and it was found that the honeybee stinger is of a hierarchical structure in cross section, which varies from the root to the tip and leads to quite different mechanical properties of the stingers.

Occurrence and Location of Exocrine Glands in Some Social Vespidae (Hymenoptera)
Peter J. Landolt,Roger D. Akre +1 more
TL;DR: The extensive exocrine gland systems found in vespid queens are probably associated with colony founding by queens as well as intensive use of chemical communication.

Behavioural evidence for the involvement of Dufour’s gland secretion in nestmate recognition in the social wasp Polistes dominulus (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
TL;DR: The behaviour of the colonies towards these lures indicates that, like the epicuticular lipids, the Dufour’s gland secretion is involved in nestmate recognition.
