The only insect that produces food that humans can consume. The largest pollinator of plants that contributes to the fact that today humanity can feed on the planet Earth, and thus the most useful insect. Her Majesty the Bee. Insects are estimated to be about 500 million years old, and bees about 160 million years old. Exclusively going from flower to flower, collecting nectar and pollen, it produces JELLY without which there are no bees. That miraculous substance, which no one has yet been able to fully explain. And when that happens next year, the Nobel Prize will follow. Of course, “something” is known about royal jelly. It is secreted by care bees and contains about 300 substances of high biological value. These nurse bees reach their maturity in 5 to 14 days of life. And then after that about 15 more days of life – and that’s it. The bee lives for about 30 days during the active period of the year (February – October).
There are three types of royal jelly, of which royal jelly is the most beneficial. How much royal jelly is valued can also be associated with its price. A kilo of royal jelly (provided it can be found) costs $ 2,000. A kilo of honey $ 8. Royal jelly is not the only thing used by bees for human health. The very consumption of honey, which is considered to be the most perfect product of nature, contributes to the preservation of health. Immediately after it, or better to say, propolis, which many scientists call the “product of the 21st century”, bee “poisons” whose price reaches the price of gold per kilogram, apitherapy with controlled bee stings. All this contributes to the fact that bees are becoming an irreplaceable topic in this century when it comes to human health, and that the thesis that bees are used only for human consumption has long been surpassed.
