Royal jelly honey: how to spot fakes, storage, and properties
Honey with royal jelly is a healing product, both for general preventative health and for the treatment of a wide range of ailments. This natural supplement significantly enhances the properties of the natural bee product. When purchasing honey with royal jelly, it's important to know how to distinguish a counterfeit from the natural elixir.
What is the product?
Royal jelly is produced by bees and the queen in small quantities. It feeds the larvae and drones during the first three days. It is white in color and has a slightly sour taste.
Since insects produce it in small doses, it is quite valuable, hence the high cost of the product.
The queen herself feeds on royal jelly during her larval stage. For this reason, beekeepers extract it for commercial purposes with extreme caution and in small doses, as the survival of the swarm depends on its presence.
A mixture of milk and honey is called "honey with royal jelly." A similar product is the medical drug "Apilak."
