Yet, the services insects render to us humans as pollinators, entomophages, producers of honey, wax, silk, shellac, dyes, etc. have been estimated to be worth 20 billion dollars annually to the USA alone. The role holy scarabs played to ancient Egyptians is legendary, but other religions, too, appreciated insects: the Bible mentions honey 55 times. Insects as ornaments and decoration have been common throughout the ages and nowadays adorn stamps, postcards, T-shirts, and even the human skin as tattoos.

Evolution of the Yellow/Major Royal Jelly Protein Family and the Emergence of Social Behavior in Honey Bees
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 1, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Letter Evolution of the Yellow/Major Royal Jelly Protein family and the emergence of social behavior in honey bees Mark David Drapeau,1,4 Stefan Albert,2,4 Robert Kucharski,3,4 Carsten Prusko,2 and Ryszard Maleszka3,5 1Department of Biology, New York University, New York, New York 10003, USA; 2Institut für Medizinische Strahlenkunde und Zellforschung, Universität Würzburg, 97078 Würzburg, Germany; 3Visual Sciences and Centre for the Molecular Genetics of Development, Research School of Biological Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia The genomic architecture underlying the evolution of insect social behavior is largely a mystery. Eusociality, defined by overlapping generations, parental brood care, and reproductive division of labor, has most commonly evolved in the Hymenopteran insects, including the honey bee Apis mellifera. In this species, the Major Royal Jelly Protein (MRJP) family is required for all major aspects of eusocial behavior. Here, using data obtained from the A. mellifera genome sequencing project, we demonstrate that the MRJP family is encoded by nine genes arranged in an ∼60-kb tandem array. Furthermore, the MRJP protein family appears to have evolved from a single progenitor gene that encodes a member of the ancient Yellow protein family. Five genes encoding Yellow-family proteins flank the genomic region containing the genes encoding MRJPs. We describe the molecular evolution of these protein families. We then characterize developmental-stage-specific, sex-specific, and caste-specific expression patterns of the mrjp and yellow genes in the honey bee.

Medicinal Properties of Royal Jelly and Its Role in Dentistry – a Review J
Review Article Medicinal Properties of Royal Jelly and its Role in Dentistry – A Review J. A. Amilia Elizabeth1*, R. Hemalatha1, S. Savithri2, M. Rajkumar1 ABSTRACT The common honey bee is a fascinating little insect that offers humans some valuable natural foods with health-promoting benefits. Royal jelly (RJ) is a secretion product of the cephalic glands of nurse bees that have been used for centuries for its extraordinary properties and health effects. This bibliographic study aims to review many of the scientific findings, research, various actions, effects, and some uses of RJ. There are numerous biological properties and effects of RJ: Antioxidant, neurotrophic, hypoglycemic agent, hypocholesterolemic agent and hepatoprotective, hypotensive and blood pressure regulatory, antitumor, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-allergic, general tonic, and anti-aging. This article also implies the role of RJ in dentistry. The antimicrobial activity and the biocompatible nature of RJ can be applicable to many dental procedures. RJ is one of the honey bee product and there still remains much to reveal about its biochemistry and biological activity in future research for our health and life benefit. More research is needed to effectively evaluate its application in dentistry. Data were chosen after the primary survey of all abstracts and selected full articles. A comparison among related data was done by the authors. KEY WORDS: Antimicrobial property, Dentistry, Health benefits, Honey bees, Royal jelly INTRODUCTION HISTORY OF APITHERAPY Apitherapy[1] is a branch of alternative medicine Since the times of Hippocrates and Galen, apitherapy that uses honey bee products, including honey, has been practiced.

Royal Jelly and Its Components Promote Healthy Aging and Longevity: from Animal Models to Humans
International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Royal Jelly and Its Components Promote Healthy Aging and Longevity: From Animal Models to Humans Hiroshi Kunugi 1 and Amira Mohammed Ali 1,2,* 1 Department of Mental Disorder Research, National Institute of Neuroscience, National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry, Tokyo 187-8551, Japan; [email protected] 2 Department of Psychiatric Nursing and Mental Health, Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University, Alexandria 21527, Egypt * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-042-346-1714 Received: 3 September 2019; Accepted: 18 September 2019; Published: 20 September 2019 Abstract: Aging is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all living organisms. In humans, aging is associated with lowered overall functioning and increased mortality out of the risk for various age-related diseases. Hence, researchers are pushed to find effective natural interventions that can promote healthy aging and extend lifespan. Royal jelly (RJ) is a natural product that is fed to bee queens throughout their entire life. Thanks to RJ, bee queens enjoy an excellent reproductive function and lengthened lifespan compared with bee workers, despite the fact that they have the same genome. This review aimed to investigate the effect of RJ and/or its components on lifespan/healthspan in various species by evaluating the most relevant studies. Moreover, we briefly discussed the positive effects of RJ on health maintenance and age-related disorders in humans. Whenever possible, we explored the metabolic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms through which RJ can modulate age-related mechanisms to extend lifespan. RJ and its ingredients—proteins and their derivatives e.g., royalactin; lipids e.g., 10-hydroxydecenoic acid; and vitamins e.g., pantothenic acid—improved healthspan and extended lifespan in worker honeybees Apis mellifera, Drosophila Melanogaster flies, Gryllus bimaculatus crickets, silkworms, Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes, and mice.

The Longevity Solution by Dr
The Longevity Solution By Dr. Cass Ingram [The following are excerpts from The Longevity Solution describing the health benefits of Royal Jelly.] “Royal jelly is a source of dense nutrition. Because it is nutrient dense, it is reserved by the bees only for their queens. The entire hive is dependent upon the queen; she lays up to 2,000 eggs daily, a monumental task for such a tiny creature. Thus, she must receive intensive nutritional support: amino acids, fatty acids, steroids, hormones, vitamins, and minerals, all of which are provided by royal jelly. The queen lives up to six years, while a worker bee lives six weeks. This means the queen lives over 35 times longer than her workers. Both the queen and the workers, which are also females, begin as identical bee eggs. It is royal jelly alone which makes the difference. It induces a metamorphosis. What's more, it is exclusively royal jelly that is responsible for the queen's unique physiology, long life, physical power, and immense fertility. “It seems incredible that this nutritionally rich substance can actually convert a simple worker bee into a queen. Obviously, it is a magic elixir. No other substance is capable of such a phenomenal biological transformation. “For humans, taking royal jelly is a positive experience. If you take it regularly, expect to be transformed.” “The apparently mysterious actions of royal jelly are readily explained by its ingredients. For instance, it is one of the few hormone-rich foods. The hormones it contains are completely safe to ingest. Hormones are known to exert profound actions on human cells.

The in Vitro and in Vivo Wound-Healing Effects of Royal Jelly Derived from Apis Mellifera L
Lin et al. BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies (2020) 20:357 BMC Complementary https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-020-03138-5 Medicine and Therapies RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The in vitro and in vivo wound-healing effects of royal jelly derived from Apis mellifera L. during blossom seasons of Castanea mollissima Bl. and Brassica napus L. in South China exhibited distinct patterns Yan Lin1†, Meng Zhang1,2†, Luying Wang1, Tianxing Lin1, Guanggao Wang1,2, Jianhua Peng1 and Songkun Su1* Abstract Background: Non-healing wounds have been a severe issue in the global healthcare system. Regrettably, royal jelly, a traditional remedy for various skin injuries, has not been widely applied in cutaneous wounds in clinical practice nowadays, which may be due to the confusion and the lack of knowledge about the efficacies of different types of royal jelly, the bioactive constituents, and the precise mechanisms underlying the wound repairing activity. Since the compositions and bioactivities of royal jelly are predominantly influenced by nectar plants, this study aims to explore the differences in the wound-healing properties of royal jelly produced by Apis mellifera L. during the blossom seasons of different floral sources, to provide guidelines for the future rational application of royal jelly in cutaneous wounds, and to promote the further discovery of wound repair-promoting substances. Methods: Royal jelly samples were harvested during flowering seasons of Castanea mollissima Bl. (chestnut) and Brassica napus L. (rapeseed) in South China, from which hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions were extracted. The in vivo wound-healing potential was preliminarily assessed in Wistar rats’ excisional full-thickness wounds, followed by investigating the mechanisms of action through in vitro assays with human epidermal keratinocytes and LPS- stimulated inflammation in macrophages.
