Royal jelly

Royal jelly is a type of bee secretion that aids in the development of immature or young bees. It is secreted by the heads of young workers and used to feed the young until they develop to the desired rank. If a queen is desired, the hatchling will receive much royal jelly so that she will become sexually mature and have the fully developed ovaries needed to lay more eggs for the hive.
