Oros Machaira Royal Jelly

Like pollen and honey, royal jelly is one of the natural treasures produced by bees, with the difference that it is produced exclusively to feed the queen! It is the royal food par excellence, which serves to give the queen enough energy for rapid growth as well as for the production of thousands of eggs every day.

What is royal jelly

Royal jelly is a substance produced by the hypopharyngeal glands located in the head of worker bees. The bees use a combination of enzymes and proteins to produce a mixture which is then combined with pollen and placed in the queen’s hexagonal cell. It is food exclusively for the queen and the larvae. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The main components of royal jelly are water, sugars, lipids, proteins and minerals.
