Royal jelly is a protein-rich discharge from the glands of working drones. While all hatchlings are fed royal jelly for the initial three days of life, hatchlings picked by the working drones to become queen are bathed in royal jelly in extraordinary, prolonged ‘queen cells’ throughout their development. After the larval stage is finished and the queen bee grows, she is taken care of royal jelly for the duration of her life.
Royal Jelly is a supplement-rich fluid with 66% water, 13% protein, 15% starch, 5% unsaturated fats, and 1% minor components. It contains all vitamins B and hints of nutrient C. Royal jelly also contains collagen (the significant protein in our skin, hair, nails, bones, and veins) and a few antioxidants.
