Queen jelly

The bee workers prepare special food for the queen larvae, royal jelly. It is very rich in nutritional value. Mother's milk is the nutritional bomb of the nest, which is still not being produced in Finland so far.

In the world, breast milk is known as royal jelly or gelée royale, for example. It contains plenty of protein, group B vitamins, fats, minerals and trace elements, among other things. The most significant of the compounds in breast milk is 10-HDA (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid), whose concentration in a batch of breast milk determines its price in world trade.

Breast milk is a highly valued cosmetic raw material. When added to face creams and other cosmetics, it enhances their skin-renewing effect. Breast milk can also be eaten on its own, mixed with honey or in capsules.
