Royal Jelly Product of the Hive
Royal jelly is a glandular secretion of young workers that is placed in queen
cells as a food for larval queens. It is called royal jelly because it is the
sole food of queen larvae. It appears that the composition of royal jelly
remains relatively constant over different colonies, bee strains and time. Some
variations can occur as a result of nutritional and age conditions of the
secreting worker bees, and care of collection/care of storage of the royal
jelly.
