The invention discloses a method for improving Camellia saluenensis seed yield by using Apis cerana cerana Fabricius. The method is that the Apis cerana cerana Fabricius is artificially promoted or introduced, and a pollination rate is improved by using pollination and honey gathering of the Apis cerana cerana Fabricius among flowers of Camellia saluenensis to promote a high yield of Camellia saluenensis seeds, and specifically comprises: (1) selecting relatively contiguous Camellia saluenensis natural forest stand or artificial forest stand and culturing Camellia saluenensis tree bodies; (2) by artificial mediation, introducing a population of the Apis cerana cerana Fabricius, establishing a bee colony and breeding; (3) placing bee hives; (4) planting nectariferous plants flowering in different seasons; (5) performing pollination in February to March every year, and nourishing and fertilizing the Camellia saluenensis in April and May; (6) picking fruits at proper time of middle term of September, and taking seeds after airing. The method has the advantages that time is short, an effect is realized fast, application of large-area wild Camellia saluenensis forest stand is realized, and oil yield is greatly improved while honey is harvested. The method is suitable for the transformation of the wild Camellia saluenensis forest stand and building of an artificial high yield forest.
