Royal Jelly is secreted from the specific glands that are present in the heads of worker honey bees. This gelatinous substance is a source of food for all bee larvae, no matter whether they become drones, workers, or queen bees on growing. Drone and worker bees are not fed royal jelly for more than three days whereas this milky white secretion is fed continuously to the queen larvae throughout their development.
