That's interesting. It is known that the Royal jelly causes epigenetic changes leading to more saturated membranes and 10x increase in lifespan in the queen bees. Perhaps the insect hormones may have some effect even in humans. There are skin creams with the Royal jelly for instance possibly rejuvenating skin by removing the highly unsaturated PUFAs from it? There is also the amino acid mixture known as VAAM used in sports drinks in Japan. It has been designed according to some stomach extract from hornets who can fly 100km by turning fat to energy very efficiently. It indeed helps people to loose fat and work out longer than without drinking it (very popular in Japanese sports clubs).
