royaljelly


I am interested in harvesting royal jelly this summer.
It is creamy white and harvested from queen cells. A small amount at a time.
I try ed it one time out in the apiari while we were working with the bees.
I wasn't expecting it to have such pungent sour flavor.
The plan is to incorporate it in a cream and as a food supplement.
