Young worker bees secrete milk in their throat glands. It is a creamy substance with a tart taste. The worker bees and drones are fed with bees’ milk only during the first 3 days of their lives. But the queen bee eats bees’ bee\u2019s milk all her life. Therefore the queen lives 4-6 years, but the worker bee lives only 30-35 days.<\/b><\/p>\n

What does the bee\u2019s milk contain?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The chemical composition of bee\u2019s milk fed to the queen bees is very rich. The composition of bee\u2019s milk includes more than 400 active substances. The most valuable for the human body are amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, one colony produces about 100 grams of bee\u2019s milk in one season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does bee\u2019s milk look like?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bees’ bee\u2019s milk resembles mammalian milk in the form of a thick paste, with colors ranging from light creamy to light yellow. It is characterized by a tart sour taste and a specific pungent smell, is heavier than water, and has an acidic reaction (pH between 3.4 and 4.3).<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting and storage of bee\u2019s milk<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bee’s milk is an unstable product, it turns yellow and dries quickly if stored at ambient temperature, and its biological activity is reduced because of the decomposition of many components. Bees consume milk regularly, so they do not store it for long periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh milk is sensitive to light and high temperatures. An airtight container retains its properties for several days at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator at 32-41\u00b0F can be up to one year. Milk can be preserved with alcohol. Creating such a mixture allows you to store the finished product in an airtight vessel in a dark place for one year. An alternative is canned bee milk with honey. To prepare the mixture, milk is added to the liquid honey in an amount of 0.5% to 5%, stirred thoroughly, and for a long time. The most effective mixture was considered honey with the addition of 2% bee\u2019s milk. It can be stored in a dark place for a year, and even longer in the refrigerator.<\/span><\/p>\n
