The Queen bee, (which by the way, is head of the hive, not the king), is fed "royal jelly", which is a creamy substance made in glands on the worker bee's heads.

The queen bee is fed nectar by the attendant bees.

Royal jelly is fed to all larvae for the first three days after hatching from the egg. Worker and drone larvae are then weaned on to a mixture of royal jelly, pollen and honey. Queen larvae are fed exclusively on royal jelly right up to the point the cells are capped and they pupate.
