Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hi, one of my friends is a bee keeper in South Africa She sent me this post about Royal Jelly, Re: [WHT-P]honey confessions / Royal Jelly ? Hi Aurore [and all] mmm Royal jelly, Traditionally royal jelly was produced/harvested in a manner that considered the bees but now days this is not so... .... So I hope I don't offend but here goes... The beekeeper kills the swarms queen, this creates a high sense of chaos and urgency. The bees attempt to make a queen and as she starts to grow in the cell then the cell is removed so that the royal jelly in her cell can be harvested. The growing queen is killed in this process [surely this is not haalal or kosher!] The swarm is distress again and repeat the process and so does the beekeeper. The result is a chaotic but yet despondent swarm . Surely this affects the quality [energy] of the royal jelly. I do not and will not use/eat any product that has royal jelly in it. I consider royal jelly and mass harvested pollen to be as bad as " Fois Gras " [oh dear - very bad french spelling!] My writing was quite strong but Royal jelly is an amazing product that is produced in a very bad manner. I cant cope with exploitation - especially of bees that I adore so much. I hope I have not offended - my intention is to educate.
