By means of a biological method and the difference between Chinese honeybee honey and apis mellifera honey in protein, different protein bands appear by conducting protein electrophoresis on a honey sample after the honey sample processed, protein categories are determined by conducting mass spectrometry on the different protein bands, and then the two kinds of honey from different bee species are identified. The problems that Chinese honeybee honey and apis mellifera honey available in market are hard to distinguish, and apis mellifera honey pretends to be Chinese honeybee honey or is mixed in Chinese honeybee honey are solved, and the situation that low-price apis mellifera honey pretends to be high-price Chinese honeybee honey can be inhibited.
