Royal jelly is a product secreted by the pharyngeal glands of the feeding bees, who feed not only on the honey produced by the worker bees, but also on pollen. It looks like a yellowish-white, semifluid paste, and has a characteristic acid-aromatic taste; it is found in the royal cells, in other words those where the bees raise the new queens. The name derives from the fact that it constitutes the essential nutrition of the queens during the whole of their existence. The most important constituent elements of royal jelly are: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, colinergic factors and vitamins.
