L.S.,
 
I thought I was up to date on bee physiology and secretions but on a body building website I came across a study that finds drone milk to have hormone related effects in rats. Searching around I find scanty info on the use of drone milk in traditional medicin but nothing more. 
 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23631495
 
Drone milk? 
 
I do not believe drone milk excists in the sense that it is different from royal jelly. Maybe it is fed to drones in a different ratio of solid to liquid than it is to queens. Or is it a different secretion? 
 
Does anyone have any sound knowledge on this? 
 
Lennard
