Royal Jelly
Royal Jelly, often called “milk of bees” by many people, it’s a creamy white or pale yellowish substance created by young worker bees (between their 5th and 15th days of age). These bees, also referred to as nurses, will feed the larvae mouth to mouth.
They mix honey and bee pollen with enzymes from their glands (hypo-pharyngeal and mandibular glands) to produce this extraordinary food. It is ultra sour, has a bitter taste and a strong odor but it was considered to have a rare biological power.
