The invention discloses a building method of an Apis cerana-Apis mellifera ligustica mixed colony model. The method includes: preparing a bee hive, and placing a gauze element in the middle of the beehive to separate the bee hive into a left independent space and right independent space; preparing a healthy Apis mellifera ligustica colony and a healthy Apis cerana colony, and respectively placingthe healthy Apis mellifera ligustica colony and the healthy Apis cerana colony into the two independent spaces; opening two hive doors at the same time to allow the bees in two independent spaces tobe able to freely go in and out the hive doors; taking honey from the honeycombs of the Apis cerana and the Apis mellifera ligustica, mixing the honey, and smearing the gauze element with the mixed honey 3-5 times a day for 5-10 days; after 3-5 days, observing the acceptance of the Apis mellifera ligustica to the honeycomb of the Apis cerana, and immediately removing the gauze element if the Apismellifera ligustica accepts the honeycomb of the Apis cerana; continuing smearing the gauze element with the mixed honey if the Apis mellifera ligustica does not accept the honeycomb of the Apis cerana until the Apis mellifera ligustica accepts the honeycomb of the Apis cerana. By the method, Apis cerana larvae can be prevented from being eliminated by the Apis mellifera ligustica, and the uncovered Apis cerana larvae in the mixed bee colony can be normally cultured.
