時(shí)差N小時(shí):蜂王漿(上) The Royal Jelly

According to legend, King Arthur gained the crownby pulling a sword from a rock.

根據(jù)傳說，亞瑟王當(dāng)年是從巖石里拔出一把劍從而得到了王位。

Queen honeybees have an equally enchanting way ofascending to the throne. Introducing… the RoyalJelly!

而蜂王也是通過類似的方式登上王位的。那就是蜂王漿。

This special jelly is made of water, proteins, fattyacids, organic acids, vitamins and minerals.

這是一種特別的粘稠漿狀物，由水分，蛋白質(zhì)，脂肪酸，有機(jī)酸，維生素和礦物質(zhì)組成。

These substances are mixed with bee milk, a liquid produced by young worker bees.

這些物質(zhì)與王漿混合在一起，王漿是一種由年輕的工蜂產(chǎn)生的液體。When the reining queen begins to showsigns of old age, worker bees select her successors from among the developing queen beelarvae.

到了當(dāng)權(quán)蜂王開始衰老的時(shí)候，工蜂們就會(huì)從蜂王幼蟲中挑選出繼任者。

Although all baby bees are fed royal jelly at first, queen bee larvae receive extra helpings andcontinue to be fed the rich food longer than regular larvae.

雖然剛開始所有的蜜蜂寶寶都是吃的蜂王漿，但比起普通的幼蟲，蜂王幼蟲會(huì)得到額外的關(guān)注，并且會(huì)一直有豐富的食物。

The jelly fed to developing queens is also packed with higher concentrations of sugar andvarious proteins.

蜂王吃的東西含有更多的糖類和各種維生素。
