What is Royal Jelly?
Royal Jelly (aka Bees Milk) is the miraculous foodstuff responsible for the mutation of an ordinary bee egg into a Queen. Royal Jelly is a substance that has the approximate consistency, colour and appearance of condensed milk with a cheesy smell. It has a strong bitter/sour but slightly sweet flavour. Royal Jelly is actually the milk of worker bees – a glandular secretion like the milk of mammals.
Worker bees develop from fertilized eggs laid in small cells; the egg that will develop into a queen is genetically the same and is indistinguishable from any worker egg at the time it is laid - the only difference is in the shape of the cell – which is larger.

By the time of birth, however, the queen is larger and different anatomically. The only reason for this difference is continuous long term diet of Royal Jelly.
Worker bee larvae and queen bee larvae are both fed on a diet of Royal Jelly at the start of their lives
After 3 days, the workers are changed to a mixture of royal jelly, honey and pollen for the rest of their lives whilst in contrast the future queen continues to receive a permanent rich diet of Pure Royal Jelly. The result of the queen’s mono diet is her metamorphosis from a mere worker bee into true Royalty.
