The invention discloses a method for increasing the apis cerana smith pollination efficiency for strawberries in winter facilities. The apis cerana smith (Chinese bee for short) used in the method isa local bee species of China, to maintain the life vitality of the bees in winter which is in shortage of honey sources, the Chinese bees need to be fed with a great deal of sugar water at regular time at fixed points, then the lives and the pollination times of the bees are prolonged, however, the labor and material cost is thus increased, and the life vitality and the pollination enthusiasm of the Chinese bees are not activated by the conventional fixed time and fixed point feeding mode, the Chinese bees still fly out from nests when sugar water is supplied and fly back into the nests afterfeeding is completed, therefore, by adopting the feeding mode, the bees are not stimulated to collect strawberry pollen, in addition, the activity of the Chinese bees in visiting flowers is objectively inhibited, and thus the strawberry pollination efficiency is affected. Therefore, the invention aims to improve conventional feeding measures of the apis cerana smith in winter facilities, an olfaction synergist for improving the activity of bees is screened and developed through EAG experiments, and a way for bee pollination activity improvement and strawberry output increase of strawberries inwinter facilities is provided.
