Enhanced
royal jelly produces jumbo queen bee larvae
“Growth
Stimulating Effect on Queen Bee Larvae of Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors”
Scientists
have discovered a way to make worker bees produce an enhanced version of royal
jelly (RJ) – the super-nutritious substance that dictates whether larvae become
workers or queens, and that is also renowned as a health supplement for people.
Their study, which found that the super RJ that makes queen bee larvae grow 2-3
times larger than normal, appears in ACS’ Journal of Agricultural and Food
