Royal Jelly is a thick, milky substance secreted from the pharyngeal glands of a special group of young nurse bees between their 6th and 12th days of life after birth. The greater nutritional signaificance of Royal Jelly is the fact that the anatomical and functional differentiation of the female larvae is totally dependant upon the nature of their diet in their early developmental stage. In the larvae stage, they are absolutely identical and feed on Royal Jelly for the first three days after hatching. The fertilized eggs give rise to females, which are either sexually immature worker bees or large, fertile Queens. From the fourth day on, only the special larvae selected to become the Queen continues to be fed with Royal Jelly throughout her entire life, while the worker bees are fed on regular honey and pollen. The fascinating discovery by apiculturalists was that nutrition was the only difference between the worker bees and the Queen. The Queen Bee is a mother of a quarter of a million bees, and amazingly lays over 2,00 eggs in a single day, a total more than twice her bodyweight. The life span of the Queen lasts four to five years, contrary to the considerably shorter life of workers, which is an average of three months or less.
