Abstract
The natural diet provided the queen caste of the honeybee has bactericidal properties. The food is commonly called royal jelly and is secreted by the pharyngeal glands located in the upper and anterior parts of the head cavity. The material is secreted by members of the worker caste and is placed in the cells containing the bee larvae.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
