The pollen is harvested during the day because at that time is not too humid air conditions so that pollen can be kept in dry conditions. Pollen that had been collected and stored in airtight bottles.
Fresh pollen can lose nutrients within a few days if kept in a temperature 30-32'C. the decomposition of such nutrients can be inhibited by storing pollen in the air. Such a way that could make a 1-year-old pollen. Heating destroys vitamins C and other important enzymes in the pollen.

Pollen is dried to reach moisture content 10% (preferably 5%) with temperatures less than 45'C, protected from direct sun and kept in a temperature 30-32'C can last up to several months. Pollen quality can be maintained for 1 year if stored in a cooler temperature 5 - (-15) 'C. Thus, the pollen should be stored in a dark bottle, then placed in a cool room and cold.
 
 Pollen could be kept in a room with the degree of humidity of 10%. Or a range between 5-8%. It would be better if the pollen is stored in a cabinet that is equipped with a heating lamp. The recommended lamp power is 20W. Room temperature should not exceed the range 40-50'C. Bolen Polen not exposed to direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight can damage the nutrients in the pollen. When the pollen is dried by the sun, should be done with the help of the cover.

In the honeycomb Royal Jelly is used to provide food to all larva is in the bee for three days only, then only the larvae that will be the queen is fed Royal Jelly continued throughout his life. Because of these different foods (Queen Royal Jelly eat while others eat honey and bee pollen), then the old queen bee is very long compared to the bees generally. If the more usual age is only about 7 to 8 weeks, the queen bee age ranged from 5 to 7 years (35-50 times longer than the age of ordinary bees).

With different consumption queen bee has a much larger size than ordinary bees (40% larger) and heavier (60% heavier). Another greatness of God's creation in the form of the queen bee is in terms of reproduction, although queens mate only once in his life - the queen bee can lay their eggs in excess of body weight every day.
In all such greatness, science has not fully reveal what is actually contained in Royal Jelly is. That has been revealed is generally content as the water content of about 60% -70%, protein 13%, karbohydrat 15%, 5% fat and other organic substances of about 1%. Which is also known is Royal Jelly contains all essential amino acids and non essential, carbohydrates in the form of fructose and glucose, fats consist of fatty acids and saturated and unsaturated phospholipids. Vitamins contained in it are all kinds of vitamin B, vitamin A, C, D, E and K.

Other components that have been detected include the protein collagen which is essential for the health and growth of tissue, skin, hair, nails, bones, muscles and reinforcing the walls and channels in our body. Enzymes contained therein include enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase. Existing nucleid acid include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

In addition to these substances were also detected in the presence of gamma globulins Royal Jelly is very important for immunization, and methyl p-hydroxybenzoat for anti-oxidant.
