A milky and creamy textured substance, royal jelly is a secretion derived from the pharyngeal glands of the honey bee.
Many refer to royal jelly as a “super food”, and for very good reason. Royal Jelly is high in proteins and is produced during the digestion of pollen by worker bees. During this process it is blended with enzymes and the resultant product fed to each bee destined to become a queen. During this cycle it becomes the exclusive food of the queen bee and enables her to lay up to 3,000 eggs per day during her six-year lifespan. In contrast, common worker bees eating ordinary honey live only four to six weeks.
