蜜蜂和无刺蜂（蜜蜂科）中发现的极高水平的群体组织在动物中极为罕见。然而，关于这两个群体是独立进化出先进的真社会行为还是从共同祖先那里继承来的，仍然存在争议。对代表性蜜蜂线粒体基因组（大亚基核糖体RNA基因）的DNA序列信息的系统发育分析表明，在这个组合中，高级真社会行为独立进化了两次。这些结果偏离了以往的假设，表明剂量之间的系统发育关系，真社会性熊蜂和无刺蜂。
The remarkably high level of colony organization found in the honey bees and stingless bees (family Apidae) is extremely rare among animals. Yet there is controversy over whether these two groups independently evolved advanced eusocial behavior or inherited it from a common ancestor. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence information from the mitochondrial genome (large-subunit ribosomal RNA gene) of representative apid bees suggest that advanced eusocial behavior evolved twice independently within this assemblage. These results depart from previous hypotheses of apid relationships by indicating a dose phylogenetic relationship between the primitively eusocial bumble bees and the stingless bees.
