Chemical analyses revealed that the labial gland complex of worker honeybees possesses a series of hydrocarbons dominated by odd-numbered carbon chain alkanes along with minor amounts of alkenes and branched alkanes. Foragers contained significantly more secretion than nurse bees. Experiments with bees from colonies induced to have a division of labor independent of age revealed that the differences in the amount of secretion were task, but not age dependent.
化学分析表明，工蜂的唇腺复合体含有一系列以奇数碳链烷烃为主的碳氢化合物，还有少量烯烃和支链烷烃。采集蜂的分泌物比保育蜂多得多。对来自诱导产生与年龄无关的分工的蜂群的蜜蜂进行的实验表明，分泌物量的差异取决于任务，而非年龄。
