Well, actually those secretions from various glands of the young worker bees are mixed into different forms of “royal jelly”. The queen is fed one form, worker larvae another, drone larvae a slightly different form and so on. Even adults such as returning foragers receive some of this jelly as a “reward” from the young adult nurse or house bees.
