I vaguely remember in The Selfish Gene that Dawkins described how one could work out if a queen bee was controlling the workers in her hive, or they were farming her to produce their offspring, based on the ratio of males to females (and that she was being farmed). There’s probably some similarly clever answer here, to do with the ratio of contributors to non-contributors or something.
