Royal Honey
It is a white to light yellow substance highly acidic secreted by the young nurse bees. The nurse bees are the jelly-producers and feeders as a normal part of all worker bee development. These nurse bees are young workers, about 3 to 10 days old. They make royal jelly in glands near their mouthparts. Queens on the other hand are fed on royal jelly during their whole life. Thus it is only in royal cells that royal jelly is found in quantity large enough to be extracted. Queens become queens because the royal jelly stimulates the correct hormone production to fully develop egg-producing organs. A queen egg is identical to a worker egg; in spite of this, she is twice as long and lives for up to 4 or 5 years (workers generally do not live over a month.) The queen is capable of laying up to three thousands egg per day during the season. It can therefore be said that royal jelly is directly accountable for the longevity and extraordinary capabilities of the queen. For centuries, royal jelly has been used as a natural energy boost and alternative medicine. Royal jelly contains remarkable amounts of proteins, lipids, glucides, vitamins, hormones, enzymes, mineral substances, and specific vital factors that act as biocatalysts in cell regeneration processes within the human body and it is rich in protein, vitamins B-1, B-2, B-6, C, E, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, inositol and folic acid.
