royal jelly

Bee larva nourishment

Royal jelly is a nutrient-rich secretion produced by worker honeybees to feed larvae and the queen bee.

Larvae destined to become queens receive royal jelly throughout development, while other larvae get it only briefly—this exclusive diet triggers the transformation into a queen.

Royal jelly is sold as a health supplement and cosmetic ingredient, though scientific evidence for its benefits in humans remains limited.
