Moisturizing, antiseptic or healing, honey has been recognized for centuries for its numerous virtues. But it is not the only treasure produced by bees. The hive is full of other elements just as wonderful for our food, our health and our skin. This is what we call Apitherapy and Apidermatology. Let’s discover these miraculous products whose benefits we use in our natural dermocosmetic care.
Royal jelly, or bee’s milk, is made by honeybees. The larvae feed mainly on this whitish nectar at birth, but it is then the only food of the queen throughout her life, hence its qualification as royal. This jelly is very precious because the bees only produce the quantity necessary to maintain their hive. Rich in nutrients such as minerals, amino acids, vitamins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids, royal jelly is the secret of longevity. Queens live 50 times longer than worker bees!
