GB/T 35868-2018 in English

1. Overview and Background Analysis of the Standard

This standard was issued in 2018 and mainly regulates the production technology of royal jelly. Royal jelly is a bee product with high nutritional value and has attracted much attention due to its unique bioactive ingredients. In order to ensure product quality and safety, this standard has detailed provisions from many aspects such as production conditions, process control and transportation.

2. Standardized production conditions

• Beekeepers must hold health certificates and beekeeping certificates, and have professional knowledge and skills.
• Apiary should meet the conditions of sufficient honey and pollen sources and being far away from pollution sources (see Section 4.6 for details).
• Bee species Select high-quality and high-yield species to ensure the health of the bee colony and stable production.

3. Interpretation of production technical specifications

Production process control is a key link to ensure the quality of royal jelly, which mainly includes the following steps:

1. Preparation and disinfection of bee tools: Utensils that come into contact with royal jelly must be strictly disinfected (Section 5.2).
2. Installation of royal jelly production frames: Choose appropriate materials to ensure that the bee path is unobstructed (Section 4.8.1).
3. Insect transfer operation: Use professional tools and select the appropriate insect age (Section 5.2.4).

4. Implementation Suggestions and Precautions

• Apiary Site Selection: Prioritize areas with abundant nectar sources and clean environment.
• Staff Training: Conduct standardized operation training regularly to improve production technology level.
• Record Management: Establish and save breeding files as required to ensure traceability (Section 4.2.1).
