Discover why bees save this royal elixir for their queens and how it can boost your own health.
Believe it or not, bees make more than just honey. Deep inside the hive, nurse bees feed their queens a delicious mixture of protein, enzymes, and sugar called royal jelly.
A strict diet of royal jelly activates hormones in female bees that turn them into queens. (Talk about the royal treatment.) Royal jelly allows queens to grow larger, develop functional reproductive systems, and live many times longer than the rest of the hive.
But royal jelly doesn’t just benefit queen bees. It has incredible health benefits for people as well!
Health Benefits of Royal Jelly
One of the purposes of royal jelly is to preserve the queen bee’s health and longevity. Similar to human breast milk, it is super nutrient dense. It isn’t only designed to deliver calories for energy, but to specifically support a myriad of other biological systems as well, in bees and people.
Here’s how royal jelly can support your health:

These fats are essential for maintaining healthy cells, promoting brain function, and nurturing radiant skin, proving that fats can be just as regal as the queen's crown.
