ABSTRACT ROYAL jelly1 is the sole food administered by young workers or nurse bees of the common honey bee species _Apis mellifica_ to female larvæ destined to become queens. Larvæ destined to become drones (males) or workers (sexually undeveloped females) receive royal jelly during the first three days of their existence only and then a different food. The components of royal jelly responsible for its remarkable properties remain unidentified.
