So I've looked through the literature and I found a review article saying all of this and more. It was written by a group of respected physicians from American and French hospitals and it clearly supported the widely held belief that you should drink two to three litres of water a day.
This is a common occurrence to have your brood chamber become honey bound during the main nectar flow. A typical hive body will have a brood cluster in the middle and the outside frames will contain honey. A honey bound hive happens when brood begins to emerge, it is replaced with nectar.
Royal jelly is a substance secreted from glands near the head region of worker bees. In the honeybee hive environment, royal jelly may be thought of as a combination baby food and queen food. The technical term for baby bees is larvae. All honeybee larvae are fed royal jelly for the first few days of their lives. Itâs like a heavy dose of mega-nutrition to get the young bee off on the right foot.
