The invention, which belongs to the technical field of apis cerana cerana breeding, provides a method for breeding a rf.dqueen bee of apis cerana cerana by using royal jelly from another species. Themethod comprises: step one, the 25% to 35% of height of an apis mellifera ligustica plastic queen cell cup is cut out; step two, the modified queen cell cup is adhered to a cell base strip; step three, the cell base strip with the modified queen cell cup adhered is placed in an apis mellifera ligustica swarm for cleaning for 2 to 6 hours; step four, apis mellifera ligustica worker bee larvas are transferred in the cleaned queen cell cup, the processed queen cell cup is placed in the apis mellifera ligustica swarm, royal jelly spitting is carried out for 24 to 36 hours, and then the queen cellcup is taken out; step five, the apis mellifera ligustica worker bee larvas in the newly built queen cell are moved out and apis cerana cerana worker bee larvas are moved in the queen cell, and the opening of the queen cell is modified; step six, the modified queen cell is placed back in the apis mellifera ligustica swarm for 2 to 3 hours; step seven, the queen cell is placed in an apis cerana cerana queen-free swarm for feeding; and step eight, after 8 to 11 days, the mature queen cell is taken out and is embedded into the lower part of a mating swarm honeycomb, and then the user waits for queen bee generation. With the method provided by the invention, the apis cerana cerana queen bee generation rate reaches over 90%; the apis cerana cerana queen bee size is increased and the swarming property is reduced; and the high yield is realized.
