Royal Jelly
August 07, 2013
Royal jelly
is a secretion from the glands in the head of worker
honey bees that is used to feed all larvae and queens.
It is high in protein which aids in the development of larvae. Larvae which
will become worker bees are only fed royal jelly during the first two days,
while future queens are given royal jelly throughout their entire development. The
royal jelly is what allows the queen bee to become fertile and able to lay
eggs. Royal jelly is another special substance produced by honey bees that is
used in “non-western” medicine. Many people believe that it has anti-aging properties,
which is why it appears in skin products. Royal jelly is also available in
capsule form for people to ingest.
