The invention discloses an apis cerana breeding method suitable for alpine regions. The apis cerana breeding method suitable for the alpine regions comprises the following steps: arrangement of a beecolony; selection of bee species and culturing of queen bees; feeding management: transferring queen bee offspring to a place which is five kilometers away from the honeycomb after the queen bee spawns, wherein the queen bee spawns quickly after the new queen bee is lost to produce other new queen bees; spring propagation management: tightening honeycombs, preserving heat, feeding with sweet water, adding a comb foundation, and carrying out joint breeding by strong colonies with weak colonies; summer management: replacing an old queen bee, destroying a natural queen bee table, enhancing ventilation, preventing natural bee separation, shading and cooling, and feeding with water and honey; autumn propagation management: cultivating a new queen, replacing the old queen, and rewarding feedinghoney water to stimulate colony propagation; winter management: adjusting colony potential, combining double queen colonies, cooling to stop queen bee spawning, and feeding for heat preservation; honey collection management: extracting honey in time, adjusting the temperature of a bee barrel, and maintaining honey collection of the strong colonies; and anti-disease management: removing cotton insects, treating and preventing rotten seeds; and bee barrel disinfection management. The apis cerana bred by the method has high honey collection amount.
