Abstract

Royal jelly is a unique food that is given in the honey bee colony from the egg to the maturity period of the queen bee, and only during the egg period of the other castes. Although both develop from a fertilized egg, the morphological and physiological differences between the worker bee and the queen bee are the result of royal jelly feeding. Royal jelly, which has many beneficial biological activities, has gained importance as a functional food. Scientific research has shown that royal jelly is effective on growth and sex hormones. Its effect on hormonal changes, especially during adolescence, should be taken into consideration, and hormonal changes that will occur in male and female individuals should be investigated.
