Royal jelly production

Royal jelly production requires rigour and compliance with a stringent schedule: one day too early or too late and all the hours of hard work go to waste.
The production technique relies on a bee colony feeling orphaned. This state triggers enhanced secretion of this enriched larvae royal jelly broth by young bees known as ‘nurses’.

The four production steps

1

Grafting

The larvae from a frame are placed in artificial royal cells

2

Insertion in the hive

The frame containing the artificial cells with the larvae are placed in the orphan hive

3

Harvesting

The frame is removed from the hive three days later

4

Extraction of the jelly

The jelly is extracted from the cells and filtered. A new cycle can then begin
