Abstract:[Objectives]  The objective is to systematically evaluate the development of apicultural industry in within the country. [Methods]  Based on the time series data from 1981 to 2020, the number of honeybee colonies, overall annual honey yield, honey yield per colony, honey producer price, honey production price index, etc. were selected as the indicators to infer the development of apicultural industry. [Results]  The results showed that from 2016 to 2020, the number of bee colonies in China accounted for 10.43% of the global honeybee colonies, ranking the second in the world. After 2006, our annual honey production accounted for 25.11%-26.76% of the world's annual output, becoming the largest country in terms of annual honey output. Although the production per colony has been higher than the world average, there is still a certain gap compared with Canada, Australia and other developed countries. The correlation coefficient among the annual honey yield, the number of honeybee colonies and the production per colony was higher than 0.98. The secondary nonlinear model was established, which can better characterize the nonlinear relationship between honey yield, the number of honeybee colonies and honey yield per colony. Chinese honey producer prices have been lower than the average of five continent, and the Chinese honey production price index was not stable enough. [Conclusion]  In the past 40 years (1981-2020), our apicultural industry has developed rapidly, but there are still gaps and problems, as well as. The governmental macro-control and guidance could strength the healthy development of our apicultural industry.
