Royal jelly is a substance that young worker bees that have emerged for 6 to 12 days eat pollen and honey, digest and absorb them, and secrete them through the body. It is a white cream that is secreted from the hypopharyngeal gland and mandibular gland on the head of the worker bee, and the worker bee feeds the queen bee by mouth. Royal jelly is a special diet exclusively for queen bees, as queen bees only eat royal jelly throughout their lives. The life of a worker bee is about 30 days, while the life of a queen bee is 3 to 5 years. It lives about 40 times longer than worker bees and lays 2000 to 3000 eggs a day during the spawning season. The queen bee is said to have the ability to lay about one million fertilized eggs in a lifetime without losing its youth throughout its life. Royal jelly is exactly the source of this extraordinary vitality. Royal jelly has long been the focus of attention as a food that protects the beauty and health of women. Royal jelly is also called royal milk, and even if it is known to date, it contains more than 50 kinds of various ingredients including high-quality amino acids, and it contains all five major nutrients such as protein, sugar, lipid, vitamin, mineral.
