This is a relatively new product for bee-keeping.
Drone brood
- is open or brood from which to develop drones. In China, Japan, Romania,
Kenya and many other countries on the basis of larval homogenates drones
produced and widely used dosage forms, nutritional supplements, anti-cosmetic
creams. In Japan, the drone larvae are used as special food: they are cooked,
packed in glass and metal containers and sell. In addition, the drone brood can
with soy sauce and use as a seasoning or fried. This product is worldwide
appreciated for the strongest bio-stimulating properties. In Japan, released a
special honeycombs with enlarged cells, allowing in May - June to get from one
cell to 1 kg of larvae drones.
In the
Moscow Institute of Apiculture in conjunction with the Ryazan
gosmeduniversitetom studied biomedical and biochemical properties of the
homogenate drone brood. Was found possible to use it as a drug and a dietary
supplement. In this regard, the question arose about the need for science-based
technology of bee colonies from drone brood at the larval stage of development.
The number of cultivated bees drone brood affect five main factors: the period
of the active season and the state of bee colonies (number of bees, the ratio
of adults and brood), the age and origin of the cancer, the presence and level
of the average daily collection of nectar and pollen bees, the level of
household wealth protein feed; the amount of nests and the number of combs in
it with drone cells. Limitation of bees drone brood rearing is primarily due to
the fact that both larvae and adults drones consume a lot of food. For example,
lack of pollen in nature and scarce nest bee pollen in significantly less or no
grown drones or drive them even in summer as * for the latter thus requires
five times more feed than for the same number of worker bees. Over a lifetime,
1 kg of drones eats from 15 to 20 kg of honey, which on average 2.6 times more
than the worker bees consume the same conditions. Up to 90% of the bee drone
brood is grown for 60 days (from late May to late July), the most - in the
second half of June. At the beginning of May and in early August, it is grown
in only a few families. Under the drone bee brood is removed about 10% of the
cells of the honeycomb of their total number in the nest. Location developing
drones in the nest varies throughout the spring and summer season. In mid-May,
they typically occupy small areas (up to 200 cells) on honeycomb with bee brood
in the middle of the slot. With increasing numbers of bees (over 25 thousand
individuals), most developing drones moved to the periphery of the nest.
Peculiarities of
The
homogenate drone brood-often by compression (squeeze) pieces of honeycomb with
drone, has just sealed or open more larvae. After pressing out, thick liquid
with a distinctive taste - the larval jelly. It is a valuable biologically
active product, since in addition to protein, the content of which it is close
to the meat and mushrooms, the homogenate contains a rich set of nutrients:
amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, trace elements, etc. For example, the content
of vitamin D homogenate surpasses even the fish oil. Larvae drones get better
with special drone combs. This significantly reduces the overhead of labor,
mechanization simplifies the selection of larvae and provides an opportunity to
re-use the cell cell. Honeycomb with drone larvae, sealed with wax caps are
extracted from the nests and transferred to the laboratory, which is isolated
in the apiary special room. All the procedures for the collection of larvae,
cooking, canning, packaging homogenate in dark glass bottles and packaging them
in a container necessarily carried out in hygienic conditions that meet the
requirements for the production of medicines and foods. Wax sealed brood caps
carefully cut with a knife, heated in boiling water. Then the cell is set to
manual honey extractor. Within 10-12 minutes to remove 95% of the larvae. When
using the building frame can be pressed at the same time by removing the larvae
and prepare homogenates. The homogenate was immediately adsorbed. In a
porcelain mortar should contain one part homogenate adsorbent adding six parts
(by weight) is used as a mixture of lactose and glucose (50%), and thoroughly
rubbed. The crude homogenate was adsorbed drone brood stored at 4-6 * C for
about 3 months prior to drying, the finished product be stored at ambient
temperatures of up to three years.
Biological and medical properties
The larval
jelly has powerful healing and rejuvenating effects. It is full of hormones and
vitamins, not being gormonozamenitelem. This natural natural product is ideally
suited to the human body, contains natural testosteroidy, progesterone and
estradiol.
The larval
jelly on your application has a narrow focus, but in this area is unmatched.
The hormones that are part of this product, not only the effect on the
endocrine organs, but also help them recover. The homogenate has a tonic
effect, restores metabolism and nutrition of tissue, contributes to the
stabilization of blood pressure, has a regulatory effect on the cardiovascular
system and tone level circulation reduces cholesterol in blood contributes to
the accelerated recovery massometricheskih and biochemical characteristics of
the testes and prostate, as a stimulant of the central regulatory mechanisms
formation of androgens, improves physical performance, the recovery of impaired
sexual function in men and increased libido. Effective in the treatment of
cardiovascular diseases, natural immunomodulatory-trimmer. For more effective
action larval jelly must be applied simultaneously with the pollen, which
provides the overall recovery of the body.
The
indications for use are endocrine diseases (hypothyroidism), sexual
dysfunction, prostatitis, prostate adenoma, male and female infertility,
menopause, metabolic disorders.
Contraindication can only idiosyncrasy.
Like all
products of beekeeping, drone brood can not only treat, but also to maintain
the body in a healthy state. Typically, use of the drug in the morning and
evening, half a teaspoon 30 minutes before meals. Prophylactic course - 2-3
weeks, then break for 10 days and repeat everything. Or a recipe: a third of a
teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach to take for 3 months.
