Answer 6

I am a bee keeper, or bee guardian if you will. No you do not. As a matter of fact you never have to kill any bees in the harvesting of honey, wax or royal jelly. Though many commercial bee keepers have a tendency to harm, stress or kill the bees to make their collection it is not necessary and more and more bee keepers are becoming more responsible with their practices, especially since the onset of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).

Royal Jelly being the very specific honey concoction fed only to the Queen Bee and brooding Queen Bees. This has been utilized for centuries as a health tonic internally and in body care topically due to its exponential amount of nutrients and anti-oxidants and healing properties related to such.

Answer 7

No, Royal jelly is produced by stimulating colonies with movable frame hives to produce queen bees. Royal jelly is collected from each individual queen cell when the queen larvae are about four days old. It is collected from queen cells because these are the only cells in which large amounts are deposited; when royal jelly is fed to worker larvae, it is fed directly to them, and they consume it as it is produced, while the cells of queen larvae are "stocked" with royal jelly much faster than the larvae can consume it. Therefore, only in queen cells is the harvest of royal jelly practical.
