What is Royal Jelly?

Royal jelly is renowned for its numerous health benefits. It contains high amounts of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. In addition, royal jelly possesses powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

The Challenging Process of Harvesting Royal Jelly

Harvesting royal jelly is a painstaking process. To maximize the amount collected, beekeepers must create a small colony of bees without a queen. This encourages young bees to become nurse bees, which secrete royal jelly into a "false" queen cup.

The timing of the extraction is crucial — harvesting too early or too late results in minimal yield. Even with precise timing, only about 500g of royal jelly can be harvested per season from a single hive. This low yield explains the high price of royal jelly.

Nutritional Powerhouse

Royal jelly is packed with essential nutrients that contribute to overall well-being. It has been valued for centuries, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine, and was part of the diets of Indian kings and Roman emperors. Its reputation for promoting longevity and good health continues today, though its rarity makes it a costly product.

Sustainable Practices at 4RBees

At 4RBees, we prioritize sustainable beekeeping practices. Since harvesting royal jelly separately is both difficult and unnatural, we choose to leave royal jelly within our raw honey and other bee products. This ensures that all 4RBees PureWave™ Raw Honey products contain 100% of the royal jelly naturally produced by the bee colony.

Health Benefits of Royal Jelly

Royal jelly offers a variety of health benefits:

• Boosts Energy and Reduces Fatigue:
  • Studies suggest royal jelly may combat fatigue and stress. Research on mice demonstrated a noticeable increase in endurance when given royal jelly.

• Supports Immunity:
  • Royal jelly has antimicrobial properties, believed to function similarly to maternal antibodies. It has been shown to be effective against yeast, fungi, and common bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

• Heart Health:
  • Royal jelly can act as a cardio-protective supplement, lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and reducing blood pressure. Studies indicate that consuming as little as 0.1g of royal jelly can reduce cholesterol by 14%.

• Fertility Enhancement:
  • Due to its hormonal balancing properties, animal trials have shown royal jelly to improve fertility. Quail fed royal jelly matured faster, hens experienced increased egg production, and rabbits showed improved fertility rates.

• Cosmetic Benefits:

  • Royal jelly is rich in collagen, known for improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and promoting skin rejuvenation. It is often found in high-end cosmetic products such as shampoos and conditioners.
