Home -> Shop By Store -> Royal JellyRoyal JellyWhat is Royal Jelly?Royal jelly is a thick, milky substance produced by worker bees to feed the queen bee. The worker bees mix honey and bee pollen with enzymes in the glands of their throats to produce royal jelly. Royal Jelly is Useful Royal jelly is believed to be a potentially useful supplement because of the queen bee’s superior size, strength, stamina, and longevity compared to other bees.Royal jelly contains all of the B vitamins, including high concentrations of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Other nutritional qualities of royal jelly are similar to those of pollen. Royal jelly has some cancer-preventive properties. Royal jelly has some cholesterol-lowering, immune-stimulating, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Because royal jelly is not an essential nutrient, deficiencies do not occur. How Royal Jelly Is Prepared The young nurse bees make royal jelly, it is a secretion from glands on the tops of their heads. For 2-3 days, royal jelly is the only food given to all young larvae in their maturation process, while for the queen larvae, it is the specific food for their whole life period. During the 3 days in which the worker bee larvae are fed on royal jelly, they reach the maximum development; their weight multiplies about 250 times. The queen (fed only on royal jelly for her entire life) reaches maturity 5 days earlier than the worker bees; and, when she is fully grown, her weight is double that of the working bee. The span of the worker bee's life is about 35-40 days; while the queen lives 5-6 years and is extremely prolific. She is fertilized once, and from that moment on can lay as many as three thousand eggs a day during the season. As incredible as this may seem, she can lay that many eggs for five years. Any creature that has that amount of energy and vitality has to be respected. |
