What
is Royal Jelly?
Queen bees are made, not born
|
Queen bees are made, not born, and their feeding
with royal jelly is the key to that process. Without
this special food, queen bees would fail to develop
properly. Royal jelly is a thick, extremely nutritious,
milky-white, creamy liquid secreted by the hypopharyngeal
glands of the nurse bees.

Queen bees live exclusively on royal jelly and it
accounts for their incredible size and longevity.
They average 42 percent larger and weigh 60 percent
more than the worker bee. Amazingly, they live 40
times longer than worker bees, seven years as compared
to seven weeks. In the wild, Queen bees will produce
2,000 eggs per day with each day's brood equal to
2 1/2 times her own body weight. |

| What does Royal Jelly do? |
Royal Jelly has been shown experimentally to help
lower blood cholesterol levels. It has been demonstrated
as an antibacterial agent in test tube studies.
Other preliminary evidence suggests it may promote
wound healing. Although unsubstantiated, Royal Jelly
is used to support weight loss, as it is an energizing
nutrient, with a very high nutritional value per
calorie. Likewise, it is used to treat fatigue,
insomnia, digestive disorders, ulcers, and cardiovascular
ailments.
