The drone milk is a unique product that proves how useful and effective the treatment of bee products can be. How such milk is formed in nature, what is its use, how to properly use and store the drone milk - consider in more detail.
What is drone milk
The drone milk is a yellowish liquid formed from the brood (eggs, larvae and pupae) of the drones. Milk is also formed from bee brood, but it differs from the drone in terms of qualitative composition.
The uterus, laying eggs for future offspring, does not know in advance which of the bees will be male or female: only when the larvae grow up and especially large-sized individuals stand out among them, then it is already possible to determine that they will later become drones they will have drone milk.
Did you know? The drone milk has been used since ancient times - for example, records of recipes and methods of using milk from drones were found during excavations of the tombs of the Han dynasty (II century BC).
If outwardly bee and drone milk have a similar appearance, then they differ significantly in composition and effects on the body - for example, the drone contains an order of magnitude higher hormonal steroids, and also includes a greater amount of minerals and active substances. Due to the high protein content, as well as the method of extraction of such milk, it is also called a homogenate.
The most popular beekeeping product is honey. Find out what is good for sunflower, mountain, white, acourae, chestnut, cypraic, digilic, donoric, espartsetovy, chernoklenovy, acacia, uterine and rapeseed honey.
How to get the product
The only way to extract drone milk can not be called humane - in order to get milk, you need to recycle (squeeze) the drone larvae and brood objects.
Honeycomb selection
The procedure for selecting honeycombs with drone broods occurs more often in the summer months (in the eastern and central regions of Ukraine, the selection may begin from the end of April). The most favorable are the honeycombs with newly laid drone eggs (a week after laying eggs by the uterus). 
It was during this period that the drone sowings have the greatest weight. Only strong, healthful bee families with a strong uterus can lay the drones' larvae - for example, young uterus (aged no more than a year) lay a large number of barren eggs.
You probably will be interested to read about who the drones and what their role in the bee family.
In addition, weather conditions and a bribe in nature (the process of processing bees of extracted nectar into honey) affect the formation of dronage larvae.
In order to select good drone larvae, you need to use special construction frames with enlarged honeycombs and cells - this will provoke an increase in drone seeding many times.
Such frames are placed inside the standard and placed in a bee's nest. After 8 days after the uterus laid the drone eggs, the frame with the honeycomb is removed and sent for further processing. 
Receiving technology
Directly the process of extraction of milk occurs as follows:
- Preparation of a special room: it must be completely sterile and dry, free of foreign odors and dust, and not exposed to direct sunlight.
- Preparation of the working surface and tools: table, gloves, hands and tools must be wiped with alcohol or alcohol-containing alcohol (usually vodka).
- On an industrial scale, honeycombs with drone seeding are squeezed in a special honey extractor. At home, honeycombs are cut out of the frame (this is done only under sterile conditions!) And squeezed through a double layer of sterile gauze. The collected homogenate is placed in a sterile container; it must be stored in its native form (natural, unmodified), for which it is frozen. You can also save it by preservation with honey or vodka.
From the used cake it is possible, after drying it, to get a drone powder - however, such a procedure at home is practically impracticable.
The composition of the drone homogenate
The composition of the drone milk contains a wide range of active ingredients that make the homogenate a truly unique product.
So, it contains:
- vitamins A, B, D, E, C;
- micro- and macronutrients: phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc and others (there are 14 of them);
- acids: pantothenic, folic, nicotinic, amino acids and other fatty acids;
- natural hormones - protein and testosterone;
- enzymes.
The average indicator of BJU milk from drones is the following: 10-20% - proteins, 5-6.3% - fats, 1-5.5% - carbohydrates (the ratio may vary depending on the time of collection of larvae, their quantity, method of collection, and t d.)
Such a rich set of active ingredients makes the drone homogenate by rating the positive effects on the body the leading means among the bee products - so, in its favor, the drone milk significantly exceeds the royal jelly, which is a recognized therapeutic agent. 
What is the use of the product
The drone homogenate is the most valuable tool - due to the fact that the drones milk is absorbed on a glucose basis, it retains its biological activity and has a lot of positive effects on the body.
For men
The main sphere of influence of such a homogenate is the hormonal system. Such a drone product can significantly affect the male hormones and improve male reproductive function. Drone milk improves the quality and quantity of sperm, increases their activity and the ability to fertilize an egg.
Plants such as orchid, horse chestnut, feather grass, ginseng, hellebore, amaranth, as well as beet juice and ginger tea have a positive effect on the work of the prostate gland.
This contributes to the solution of many problems associated with infertility. In addition, this milk treats various ailments of the prostate gland (up to the destruction of cancer cells), strengthens the potency, reduces stress, increases muscle activity and vitality, activates the body's protective functions and maintains an optimal hormonal balance in the body. 
It is noteworthy that the drone milk is useful both for adolescents who are only in the stage of puberty, and for adults and older men. The use of the brood drone product will not only cure the diseases of the genital sphere, but also have a preventive effect.
Also drone milk is used for sleep disorders, loss of appetite, general weakness of the body, with stress and nervous disorders. Professional athletes use this product not only to strengthen the body, but also to restore protein protein balance in the body.
Important! Drone milk should not be used by people who are allergic to bee products, as well as those who have infectious diseases in the acute stage of development.
For women
Just as in the male body, the drone homogenate primarily affects the hormonal sphere of the female body. He is able not only to cure various ailments of the endocrine system, but also to facilitate the stage of menopause and cure infertility. 
In addition, drone milk eliminates disruptions in the menstrual cycle, relieves menstrual cramps, prevents depression and eliminates physical and mental fatigue (restores nerve cells).
In addition, the use of drone milk has an external cosmetic effect: wrinkles are eliminated, elasticity and skin tone are increased, and signs of fatigue are removed. Proteins and active amino acids contribute to muscle recovery, which is especially important for pregnant women and women in labor.
Other beekeeping products are also actively used: bee pollen, beeswax, sunflower and pollen, adsorbed royal jelly, propolis tincture.
Iron helps to normalize the level of hemoglobin in the blood, and fatty acids increase metabolism, which contributes to weight loss and elimination of toxins from the body.
Also, organic acids regenerate tissue cells, which contributes to the overall rejuvenation of the body, in addition, the immunity and ability to resist viral infections is significantly enhanced. All the above positive effects prove that the drone homogenate is an essential therapeutic product for every woman who is monitoring her health. 
Did you know? Not only milk is made of drones - these larvae are actively used in traditional oriental dishes.
Is there any harm?
Despite the enormous positive effect on the human body, the homogenate of drones can in some cases have a negative effect. First of all, it concerns people who are allergic to honey and other beekeeping products - they are absolutely not recommended to take milk.
In addition, diseases such as adrenal gland diseases, renal failure, neoplastic tumors in the intestine preclude the use of milk from the drone brood. In case of an overdose with such a product, a strong nervous strain, insomnia and dangerous changes in the hormonal background will occur.
Pregnant women, in order to avoid improper functioning of the endocrine system, before taking the homogenate should always consult a doctor - he will prescribe the correct dosage based on the individual characteristics of the body. 
How to choose high-quality drone milk
In order to buy a quality drone product, you need to purchase it only from verified beekeepers or at pharmacy points. Proper milk should be dense, viscous in consistency, dark yellow shade, homogeneous.
Usually, beekeepers sell it frozen, but in pharmacies such a homogenate can be in the form of tablets, dragees, and marshmallows. Best of all, if such a product is packaged in small hermetic ampules or syringes, the necessary single portion can be thawed.
The homogenate in jars has significant drawbacks - first, every time you need to defrost the entire jar, which spoils the product, and air is also released into the container, which reduces the shelf life.
Sometimes the milk is sold in the mother liquors themselves - however, you should not buy such a product: it is impossible to determine how much milk is contained in the mother liquor, and the risk of acquiring empty cell cells increases significantly. 
Important! The best packaging for a product from brood of drones is considered a vacuum syringe - it can be stored at a negative temperature for up to two years.
Ways to save
The best way to preserve the milk from the drones is to keep it at a minus temperature in a dark place (the freezer is ideal for this) - this way the homogenate will be stored for 12 months without losing its beneficial qualities.
With a minimum positive temperature (in the refrigerator) the shelf life of such a product is reduced to 3 months. A common way to preserve the usefulness of milk is also its preservation with honey or vodka.
With honey
Due to the fact that honey and milk have a different specific gravity, even with the most diligent stirring of these two products, honey cannot completely dissolve in the homogenate. For preservation of milk with honey product, these components are mixed in proportions of 1: 1 or 1: 5 (they need to be mixed in a blender, with a spoon it cannot be done). 
If you break this proportion and add more milk than it should, then fermentation will begin, and the product will spoil. The resulting honey-milk homogenate is stored in the refrigerator for up to six months.
Absorption with glucose-lactose mixture
In this method, preservation occurs through a combination of lactose and glucose (in equal proportions). In a glass container combine the homogenate and the lactose-glucose composition in a ratio of 1: 6. For more thorough mixing, it is better to resort to the help of a blender.
The resulting product is stored in the refrigerator (the mixture does not need to cover the lid). After 3-4 months, this conservation starts to dry out a little - now such a product can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 years.
Freezing
The most rare, but the most effective way to preserve the useful components of milk from drones. The dairy brood dairy product is frozen and stored at a temperature of -5 ... -10 ° C: in such conditions all the useful components of the product will retain their effectiveness up to 12-14 months. 
Did you know? In Asia, drone milk is the main component for the manufacture of anti-aging medicines and anti-aging creams, as well as nutritional supplements for weight loss - up to 60% of all manufactured drugs of Japanese pharmacology contain this component.
How to take drone milk
To maintain immunity, cleanse the body and prevent diseases associated with reproductive function, such milk is taken 2 g per day under the tongue, half an hour before meals. For the treatment of diseases of the thyroid gland, prostate gland, infertility and other serious ailments, the intake of milk is increased to 3 times a day for 2 g.
Familiarize yourself with the beneficial properties of royal jelly, how to preserve its healing properties, as well as how to get the product in the apiary.
On average, the course of treatment is from 2 to 8 months - however, remember that the dosage and duration of treatment are best agreed with your doctor. In order for the homogenate to be well absorbed by the body, it must be kept under the tongue as long as possible - this will increase the digestibility of nutrients. This product is not recommended to be taken in the evening or at night: it can cause excessive irritability, leading to insomnia. 
How to lose weight with a homogenate
For those who want to improve their figure and get rid of extra pounds, milk from the drones is a great helper. To prepare an effective fat-burning agent, you need to mix milk with honey in a 1: 1 ratio and take 1 tablespoon three times before meals three times a day.
For a month with this tool you can lose weight by 2-3 kg. In its effectiveness, this honey-milk mixture is not inferior to ginger tea or grapefruit - the best natural fat burners.
Drone milk has a truly amazing effect on the body: it regenerates, rejuvenates, restores hormonal balance and strengthens the immune system. Inclusion in the diet of this product will serve not only the prevention and treatment of many diseases of the reproductive system, but also an excellent way to maintain a slim body.
