This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the harvesting of royal jelly. The method comprises the use of a first matrix of cell-like structures in an arrangement typical of normal worker bee cells which have interconnected plugs placed in the back of the matrix. A queen bee may then lay this matrix of cells with eggs. Upon the eggs turning into larvae, the plugs may be removed and the plugs are provided in interconnected sets such that each set provides plugs for each alternate cell in the first matrix of cells. These plugs may then be fitted to a second matrix of cells which provide larger, queen-like cells at a spacing of substantially the same as the alternate cells in the first matrix. The second matrix may then be placed in a queenless hive for the bees to fill the larger cells of the second matrix with royal jelly which may then be harvested.
L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif servant à récolter de la gelée royale. Ce procédé consiste à utiliser une première matrice de structures alvéolaires, selon la disposition typique des alvéoles des abeilles ouvrières, l'arrière de la matrice comportant des bouchons reliés entre eux. La reine peut ensuite pondre des oeufs dans la matrice. Quand les oeufs se transforment en larves, on enlève les bouchons qui forment des ensembles reliés entre eux, de telle manière que chaque ensemble constitue un bouchon pour chaque alvéole alternée de la première matrice. On adapte ensuite ces bouchons à une deuxième matrice constituée par des alvéoles plus importantes, telles que les alvéoles de la reine, selon un écartement pratiquement similaire à celui des alvéoles alternées de la première matrice. On place la deuxième matrice dans une ruche sans reine, afin que les abeilles remplissent les cellules plus importantes de ladite matrice avec la gelée royale, qu'on peut alors récolter.
