众所周知，在蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）中，为亲属识别而标记个体是有遗传基础的。这项研究表明，在完全隔离的情况下长大的个体工人能够区分他们的同父异母姐妹和同母异父姐妹。当一个人与同父异母的姐妹一起长大时，对自己父系类型的认识仍然存在，同时对同父异母姐妹的父系类型的认识也相当。工人，当饲养在混合patritype组的10个，没有表现出歧视全和半姐妹之间的倾向，即他们似乎学习两个巢伙伴patritypes同样好。然而，标签表型的个人饲养在一起变得更加统一，可能是通过在trophallosis和相互梳理的物质转移。接触到10个父系的工人比接触到5个父系的工人更容易接受一个不熟悉的全姐妹。最后，在蜂箱中饲养的工蜂似乎保留了区分自己的父系类型的能力;即，即使蜂巢由两个工蜂组成，它们也能区分在孵化器中同样受控条件下饲养的不熟悉的全同胞和半同胞姐妹。
It is known that there is a genetic basis to the labelling of individuals for kin recognition in the honey bee, Apis mellifera. This study shows that individual workers reared in total isolation are able to discriminate between their full sisters and maternal half sisters. When individuals were reared with a half sister, recognition of their own patritype persisted, together with a comparable awareness of the patritype of their half sisters. Workers, when reared in mixed patritype groups of 10, showed no tendency to discriminate between full and half sisters, i.e. they appeared to learn both nestmate patritypes equally well. However, the labelling phenotypes of individuals reared together became more uniform, possibly through the transfer of substances during trophallaxis and mutual grooming. Workers exposed to 10 patritypes from their full sister patrilline were more likely to accept an unfamililar full sister than workers exposed to only five. Finally, workers reared in the hive appeared to retain an ability to discriminate their own patritype; i.e., even though the hive consisted of two worker patritypes, they discriminated between unfamiliar full and half sisters that had been reared under the same controlled conditions in an incubator.
