Answers

As royal jelly has many vitamins, it is an ingredient in some health

supplements too.

Wax is produced from wax glands at a bee’s abdomen. Beeswax can be found in some shoe polish too.

Did you know that pure honey does not expire? Honey is acidic and high in sugar,

making it hard for bacteria to grow. .

Some wax crayons are made from beeswax! Bees make wax to seal the honeycombs, so they can keep the honey throughout winter.

Royal jelly is made by worker bees and fed to the larva of a queen bee, till she becomes an adult. Adult queens eat royal jelly too, but adult worker bees

only eat nectar and pollen. Royal jelly is used in some cosmetics like lipstick.
