I do not quite agree with the terminology and royal jelly. I would rather call it bee milk. After all, the uterus does not secrete it, bees do this. Of course, one can argue with me as an argument to this name, to say that they feed the uterus, which is why it is called that. However, it is not so simple.
The lion's share of royal jelly is not spent on feeding the uterus, but on feeding young bee larvae. But I will not argue with the terminology, since they called it uterine, let it be so.
Where does it come from?
Royal jelly does not produce all bees, but only young ones, whose age is from 5 to 13 days. The pharyngeal glands are used to produce the bee. External factors also play an important role. A steady supply of nectar and pollen is needed. Otherwise, royal jelly will either not be produced by bees at all, or it will, but in very small quantities.
Why is royal jelly so valuable?
This product is unique, and in the world there is no analogue that in its composition and useful properties could be compared with royal jelly.
To recreate an analogue of royal jelly artificially is also not possible. This is due to the fact that its composition is variable, and not constant.
Milk contains more than 400 active elements. These are various amino acids, proteins and hormones. Despite the fact that it is called milk, it has nothing to do with the usual dairy products.
Bees secrete it not the same way. For example, the composition of royal jelly with which they feed the larvae of future uterus is different from the composition with which the larvae of future working bees are fed. Moreover, for example, when feeding the larvae of the future uterus, and they feed it more than 1000 times a day, the composition of the milk changes every hour. The same thing happens with feeding the larvae of working bees and drones.
The composition of royal jelly is also influenced by external factors such as nectar, pollen and even weather.
Why is it for man?
The beneficial properties of royal jelly for humans are difficult to overestimate. Of course, you can get the maximum benefit from it by using fresh royal jelly, just extracted from the hive. But only beekeepers can afford such a luxury.
For example, I use royal jelly almost all summer.
The daily intake is one mother liquor. It just needs to be put under the tongue and absorbed. Maybe for this reason beekeepers live a very long time. After all, royal jelly is an elixir of youth. It is useful for people of all ages, but it brings special benefit to children and the elderly.
How to store?
There are several ways to store royal jelly, and the most effective is freezing.
With such storage, you can maximize save all its useful properties. Another way is to add royal jelly to honey. But let me remind you that honey is essentially a preservative, and like any preservative, it kills all bacteria, both harmful and beneficial. And royal jelly more than 40% consists of biological active elements, in other words living.For this reason, during storage, I am more prone to freezing, rather than honey.
Wife needs royal jelly for external use
My wife works as a beautician and will definitely tell you in more detail about the benefits of royal jelly. After all, its beneficial effect is not limited to ingestion. It also helps with external use.
Royal jelly treats various skin diseases. It copes with smoothing wrinkles, so it is added to the composition of masks and creams.
In addition to preventing and treating myself and my loved ones, I, and I'm sure many other beekeepers, are selling royal jelly. Therefore, it is not only useful, but also profitable.
