But if there is one aspect of the life of a colony that is really striking for us, it is its ability to produce foods as varied as honey, pollen or royal jelly, each with specific functions in the nutrition of these insects.
Honey, sweet gold, is the energetic food par excellence, rich in sugars, it comes from the nectar of plants, which bees collect and transform, constitute the nutritional base of these insects.

The pollen, the gold powder, provides lipids, proteins, minerals and vitamins and is the basis for feeding the baby bees, providing fat reserves to adult females and for the nurse bees to produce a quality royal jelly.

Royal jelly, white gold, is the food of the young in their first days of life and the food of the queen throughout her life (the queen is the only fertile female in the colony and her laying, in moments of maximum fullness , reaches 2,000 eggs per day).

Propolis, black gold, is used to maintain asepsis inside the hive, to cover cracks and to strengthen the wax combs, avoiding the putréfaction of other insects or intruders of animals (mice, snakes ... ) that its size the bees cannot remove from the hive once they are dead.
