For bees, royal jelly is the very first food. It is produced by young bees, whose duties include feeding the larvae and the queen. Only the larvae of worker bees receive royal jelly for only 3 days, and the queen - all her life. Therefore, it lives much longer than ordinary bees - as much as 7 years, and working bees only 35-40 days. But if the larva of a working bee receives royal jelly for more than three days, then her reproductive organs develop and she becomes a queen. This situation arises if a queen dies in a bee colony and the bees urgently need to replace it. Royal jelly is a jelly-like mass of white or slightly creamy shade with a specific odor and a sharp sour taste. Not all beekeepers are involved in collecting royal jelly, since this process is very laborious. Therefore, it is not so easy to buy royal jelly, the price for this product is quite high.
