| Abstract | ||||
| Haemolymph protein and quality of royal jelly produced by honeybee colonies fed only on pollen substitutes were compared with those of natural colonies. These pollen substitutes were check pea-milk and defatted soy flour. The total sugar amounts of crude protein and 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid varied slightly but within the reported range for natural royal jelly. No detectable differences occurred in the electrophoretic densitogram of water-soluble protein and haemolymph protein. Idealy no differences were noted in the characters of queen bees reared on the royal jelly. | ||||
