Harvesting Royal Jelly
Here is the procedure How to harvest Royal Jelly:
- First you need a bee family without a queen!
- Give them a frame with added piece of wood with special cells.
- In these cells put 20 to 36 hours old bee larvas.
Because bees cannot live without their queen they try to raise a new one. They feed larvas with a lot of royal jelly, trying to make new queens.
- After 48 to 52 hours take these added cells away and take the royal jelly away with a special spoon
- Put new cells with larvas in the hive and bees will fill it again.
- Freeze harvested royal jelly and keep it in a dark room.
