Turkey has a good beekeeping potential with good flora and colony potential. Honey bees are importance insect for human with pollination of plant and their products. Royal jelly is secreted from hypopharengeal and mandibular glands that is situated head of 6-15 days-old worker bees, queen and young larvae feed, white-cream color consistency and nutrient value of the food is very high. The worker bees feed queen bees and young larvae with royal jelly. There is no genetically differences between Queen and worker bees. If the diploid larvae are fed with nectar-honey and pollen they develope as worker, the larvae are fed with royal jelly they develope as queen. Queen bees live up to 3-4 years but worker bees live 6 - 7 weeks in an active season. Although the worker bees are female, Their ovaries are undeveloped and they don't ovulate. Ovaries of queen bees are developed perfectly and they can lay 1500-2000 eggs daily. Although the queen bee larger, they develop in 16 days, the worker bees complete the development in 21 days. The Cause of all these differences between the worker and queen bees are nutritional differences. Because of the great effects of royal jelly on bees, people have started using this product and use of it rapidly gaining popularity with each passing day.
