的reactively eusocial蜜蜂，熊蜂（Fraternobombus）griseocollis，拥有一个复杂的时间分工的基础上转移模式的主要任务，而不是离散的年龄种姓。在一定年龄范围内的工人执行的任务随着工人年龄的增长而发生数量变化。行为的功能类别，如护理或守卫，不限于特定年龄的工人;所有任务都由所有年龄的工人执行。群体个体发育也影响工人的行为个体发育，在任务表现存在显着差异的工人出生在不同阶段的殖民地发展。随着殖民地年龄的增长，幼蜂觅食的概率越来越大。在没有觅食死亡率的情况下，觅食者转向护理任务，并被年轻的蜜蜂所取代。
The primitively eusocial bee,Bombus (Fraternobombus) griseocollis, possesses a complex temporal division of labor based on shifting patterns of principal tasks rather than on discrete age castes. Workers within a given age range perform ensembles of tasks which change quantitatively as the workers age. Functional classes of behavior, such as nursing or guarding, are not limited to a given age class of workers; all tasks are performed by workers of all ages. Colony ontogeny also influences worker behavioral ontogeny; significant differences in task performance exist among workers born in different phases of colony development. As the colony aged, young bees foraged with increasing probability. In the absence of foraging mortality, foragers shifted to nursing tasks, and were replaced by younger bees.
