Tired Bumblebees Who Fell Asleep Inside Flowers With Pollen On Their Butts

But perhaps the most valuable bee product is royal jelly. It is produced only by young worker bees and is made of honey, pollen and their own gland secretions. Only queen bees can eat royal jelly, which gives her 50 times longer life than her colony. Therefore, the queen bee is a symbol of performance and vigor as well as vitality. Royal jelly is used in cosmetics as well as in the pharmaceutical industry. It can be used as a natural cure for virus-based infections and has a revitalizing effect. Images Credit:Sad and Useless
