Fresh royal jelly is a milky, viscous substance secreted from the hypopharyngeal glands of young worker bees. It is exclusively fed to the queen  bee and larvae destined to become queens.  Royal jelly is the sole source of energy that determines whether a larva, hatched from the same fertilized egg, will develop into a queen bee or a worker bee.

As the larvae consume royal jelly and develop into queen bees, their ovaries undergo significant growth. Once fully matured, a queen bee can lay  over 2,000 eggs per day—equivalent to her own body weight—during the egg-laying period. In contrast to worker bees, which live only 3 to 4 months,  a queen bee can survive for more than 3 years. Such a remarkable difference in longevity and vitality, solely due to dietary differences, is rarely  observed in other organisms. Even with modern science, the exact mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unexplained.

Fresh royal jelly contains not only vitamins and minerals but also various amino acids and a parotin-like substance known as the “rejuvenation  hormone.” With over 40 beneficial components, it is an exceptionally bioactive and highly potent complete food.
