Apilarnil is another very important natural product obtained from the bee colony

The re-discoverer of this remarkable product was the renowned Romanian beekeeper Mr. Nicolae Iliesiu.

The name “Apilarnil” is derived from:

API – from Apis, the Latin name for the bee

LAR – from larvae

N – the first letter of the inventor’s first name (Nicolae)

IL – the first two letters of his family name (Iliesiu)

Apilarnil is obtained from the entire contents of comb cells containing drone brood aged 7–8 days.

These comb cells contain drone larvae (6–7 days old), specific nutrients for the larvae (larval food, honey, bee bread) and traces of propolis and other bioactive substances.

Given this composition, Apilarnil can be regarded as the “male counterpart” of royal jelly—rich in nutrients, biologically active compounds, and unique properties.
