extraordinary.

Royal jelly is the rich food honeybees produce to nourish their young. We’re developing whole freeze-dried capsules around Turkish sourcing and a minimum 6% 10-HDA ingredient target.

Whole royal jelly. A daily format. Our first edition brings an exacting approach to the food of the hive—from the source we select to the composition we intend to verify.

10-HDA IN FREEZE-DRIED ROYAL JELLY

The detail
makes the difference.

A name alone is not a specification. We’re targeting at least 6% 10-HDA in whole freeze-dried royal jelly, with independent verification before release. A defined constituent. A result you can examine.

Our standard is in development. The target applies to the freeze-dried royal jelly ingredient; actual milligrams per serving will follow the final formula.

BEFORE THE FIRST EDITION

A few
good questions.

Why freeze-dried royal jelly?＋

Freeze-drying removes water to create a powder suited to capsules. We plan to validate both the processing conditions and finished-product stability, rather than assume the format alone guarantees quality.

What does the 6% target mean?＋

It means at least 6 g of 10-HDA per 100 g of the freeze-dried royal jelly ingredient. This is a development target, pending supplier qualification and testing. Actual milligrams per serving will be declared once the formula is finalized.

When and where can I buy it?＋

Orders are not open yet. We are developing the product and evaluating our first launch market. Pricing, availability, and shipping destinations will be announced after sourcing and manufacturing are confirmed.

Is royal jelly suitable for everyone?＋

No. Royal jelly can cause serious allergic reactions, particularly in people with asthma or allergies. Product-specific directions and warnings will be provided before release. Speak with a healthcare professional about individual suitability.

A QUESTION OF TASTE. A MATTER OF STANDARD.

FROM THE HIVE

From the hive.
Our starting point.

Royal jelly is a secretion produced by worker honeybees to nourish developing larvae and the queen. A complex mixture with a remarkable role in the hive, it is the starting point for our first edition.
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

A personal
origin.

Son of a Bee begins with a family name: Arıoğlu.

Meaning “son of a bee,” the name brings a personal connection to the world of the hive. Türkiye is where that story begins—and where our search for royal jelly starts.

Our focus is on the ingredient itself: where it comes from, how it is handled, and what testing can tell us about its composition.

The first edition is still taking shape. Our aim is simple: whole royal jelly, a clearly defined standard, and an origin we can trace.

Mete ArıoğluFOUNDER / SON OF A BEE
02 / THE STANDARD

A specification.
Not a slogan.

Our proposed specification is whole freeze-dried royal jelly with a minimum 6% 10-HDA in the ingredient. The finished formula must also state actual royal jelly mass and 10-HDA milligrams per serving.

These are development commitments. No supplier, batch result, or guaranteed specification has been finalized.
SON OF A BEE / Nº 01

The first edition.
Taking shape.

Our first product is planned as freeze-dried royal jelly capsules, sourced from Türkiye, with a minimum 6% 10-HDA ingredient target.

Supplier selection, independent testing, serving size, packaging, price, and launch market are still being developed. Orders and reservations are not currently open.

The bottle on this site is a packaging concept. Final packaging will follow product validation.
THE PLANNED BATCH RECORD

Know what
you’re choosing.

Once a production batch is qualified, its record is intended to include:

  1. Producer, region, and traceable batch identification.
  2. 10-HDA assay, method, and actual milligrams per serving.
  3. Relevant composition, contaminant, and microbiological results.
  4. Manufacturing date, storage guidance, and supported expiry.
No batch has been released. Verified records will be published when available.

SON OF A BEE / SCIENCE ATELIER

The science.
Unfolded.

SON OF A BEE / THE 6% STANDARD

The number.
The substance behind it.

WHY THIS MOLECULE?

Small molecule.
Specific significance.

10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid—10-HDA—is one of royal jelly’s characteristic fatty acids. It gives us a defined constituent to measure, rather than relying on the ingredient name or a fresh-equivalent weight alone.

Researchers also study its interactions with cellular signaling, inflammatory responses, and gene regulation. Much of that work is in cells or animals. Measuring 10-HDA tells you composition; it does not establish a particular benefit.

PERCENTAGE → ACTUAL AMOUNT
500mg×6%
= 30mg 10-HDA

Illustrative calculation for 500 mg of royal jelly powder at exactly 6%. Not our finalized capsule size or a dosing recommendation.

Always compare the same basis. Fresh jelly contains water; freeze-drying raises the percentage by removing water. A higher percentage alone does not prove better starting material.

HOW WE INTEND TO EARN YOUR TRUST

Beyond a number
on the label.

Our difference should be the complete record: Turkish origin, a defined 10-HDA specification, and independent results for the finished product. Our planned standard connects source, specification, and finished-product verification in one accessible record.

01

Know the constituent

Target ≥6% 10-HDA in the freeze-dried royal jelly ingredient, with the measurement basis stated.

02

Verify the capsule

Test both incoming royal jelly and finished capsules. Declare actual royal jelly mass and 10-HDA milligrams per serving.

03

Make the result accessible

Publish the batch identifier, analytical method, testing laboratory, and measured result once a qualified batch is released.

04

Protect the specification

Set release limits and storage conditions using stability data, so the claim is supported through the stated expiry.

6% is our development target. A high 10-HDA result alone does not prove freshness, purity, or superior clinical effects. Independent composition, safety, and preservation checks matter too. Freshness research ↗
FROM TÜRKİYE. FROM THE SOURCE.

Closer to the hive.
Closer to the people.

We want relationships with local Turkish beekeepers, a harvest we can trace, and a documented path into each capsule. Authenticity should have names, places, and records behind it.

01

Meet the producer

Our selection brief prioritizes direct relationships with local Turkish apiaries and verifiable production origin.

02

Know the harvest

Our sourcing brief calls for producer-led, hand-collected harvests with lot records and documented cold handling.

03

Preserve with care

Our plan is controlled cold handling before freeze-drying, followed by qualified processing and protective packaging.

04

Connect hive to capsule

The producer, region, harvest information, and test results should connect through one traceable batch record.
