why only the queen bees continue to feed the royalactin whereas worker bees are also able to.

besides, then, wont it be that these bees will have more than atleast 1 queen when anyone can become fertile by just licking some jelly, Instead, atleast there got to be some genetic difference which probably attracts only queens to get attracted to royal jelly’s odour and this genetic differenct might have a very small probability and thus forms just one queen bee, besides, is it not possible that this royal jelly might act as a steroid boosting hormones(reproductive hormones)…

I know that if one eats enough honey one will grow larger, much larger, now to test the royal jelly, any volunteers?

Can any of this info help save the bees? The large field of clover and the flowering trees near my home are totally bee-less this spring.

I wonder if this protein in royal jelly supplements has any significant action in humans as opposed to normal honey.

“[...] the queen-maker in this royal ambrosia might be a hormone or neurohormone, rather than a protein [...]”

Huh? I thought hormones were proteins? Largish ones, generally, but still proteins…
