化学分析表明，工蜂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，以及少量的烯烃和支链烷烃。觅食蜂的分泌物明显多于看护蜂。对来自不同年龄群体的蜜蜂进行的实验显示，分泌量的差异与任务有关，而与年龄无关。
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.
