For the first three days after hatching from the egg all larvae are fed on a substance produced in the nurse bees' hyperpharyngeal glands, called bee milk or royal jelly. After three days worker and drone larvae are fed on a mixture of royal jelly, nectar or diluted honey, and pollen, but queen larvae continue to be fed pure royal jelly right up to the time their cell is capped.
