Royal jelly is composed of 67% water, 11% simple sugars, 12.5% protein, 5% fatty acids, and 2-3% 10-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid (10-HDA). Royal jelly also consists of trace minerals, vitamin B5, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), and trace amounts of vitamin C. Royal jelly is a thick, smooth milky substance emitted by the organs of working honeybees to sustain hatchlings and queen honeybees. It is fed to larvae bees and drones as a nutrition agent during the first three days of their lives to stimulate growth. Continuous feeding of larvae with royal jelly for an extended period leads to the formation of queen bees. The queen honeybee consumes only royal jelly throughout her life, which is around 50 times longer than the life of a normal honeybee.
