What is Royal Jelly ? What are its merits and demerits ? Where it will be available in Kolkata, India ?
As I know it is a special type of Honey.
Answers:
Royal jelly is a type of bee secretion that aids in the development of immature or young bees. It is secreted by the heads of young workers and used (amongst other substances) to feed the young until they develop to the desired rank. If a queen is desired, the hatchling will receive only royal jelly as its food source, in order that she will become sexually mature and have the fully developed ovaries needed to lay more eggs for the hive.
Cultivation:
Royal jelly is produced by stimulating colonies with movable frame hives to produce queen bees. Royal jelly is collected from each individual queen cell when the larvae is about four days old.
A well-managed hive during a season of 5-6 months can produce approximately 500g of royal jelly. Since the product is perishable, producers must have immediate access to proper cold storage (e.g. a household refrigerator or freezer) in which the royal jelly is stored until it is sold or conveyed to a collection centre. This product is combined with honey for preservation, as it spoils easily.
It is the substance that the worker bee makes especially for the queen bee. This make her bigger than the other females.
There are lots of CLAIMS for health benefits for RJ. However, there are NO proven benefits -- unless you're a bee!
Like most "natural cures", it relies on folklore and gullibility - pure placebo effect.
