> has anyone tested royal jelly to see if there is a different makeup if its being fed to a swarm cell, emergency cell or supercedure cell
If Haydak et al. are correct, then it seems highly unlikely that royal jelly would change constituents based on the queen rearing situation. But it's an interesting question because if the nurse bees could adjust the royal jelly it might be advantageous when selecting older larvae in the emergency cell situation.
