Honeybee Milk transforms ordinary worker bee into a Queen

Royal Honeycomb

Royal Jelly, often called honeybee milk, is a concentrated Superfood responsible for turning an ordinary worker bee into the Queen Bee, a long-lived reproductive dynamo that produces 100 times her weight in eggs every single day.

The Queen grows 50% larger than the worker bee and lives 4 to 5 years compared to her genetically identical sister, whose life span is only 40 days. All bees are fed Royal Jelly for the first three days, but thereafter they are fed a diet of honey and pollen. In a ritual that is still a mystery, one worker bee larva is chosen to become the Queen and continually fed Royal Jelly. It will be her only food.

An abundance of nutrients and the amino acid Royalactin

Royal Jelly is a nutrient powerhouse containing vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as all nine B complex vitamins and the minerals calcium, copper, iron, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

Along with all 22 standard amino acids, which make up body proteins, Royal Jelly also contains the recently discovered amino acid complex, Royalactin, which has been proven to stimulate the differentiation of larvae, enhance bodysize and shorten development time in honeybees. Ongoing research into Royalactin help explain Royal Jelly’s many immune-boosting, anti-aging and fertility-enhancing benefits.
