hi
what is royal jelly and how do you collect it?

Food for the first three days for all bees, and food for the queen until she emerges.

>how do you collect it?

I've done it with a small spatula. If you use standard queen rearing techniques you can scoop it out of the queen cells. I don't know how to get it in any quantities. I wish I did.

Yes. There are technically a few differences, but basically it's similar stuff.
