Abstract: 【Objective】 Through studying on the relationship between bee pollination and agricultural production, the economic value of bee pollination to agriculture was estimated for making clear the situation of apiculture in agriculture and providing a theoretical support for development of apicultural support polices in China. 【Method】 A bee pollination dependence valuation method was used to assess the economic value of bee as pollinators of 36 crops during 2006-2008, and the honeybee pollination demand of agricultural production in China was also discussed. 【Result】 There was a significant role in promoting the development of agriculture in China. The average economic value of 2006-2008, contributed by bee pollination, was estimated at￥304.22 billion, which was equivalent to 76 times the value of apicultural production, 12.30% of the gross output value of agriculture in China. There was a great demand for honeybee pollination in agriculture production, only vegetables, fruits, cotton and other crops required 60-87.95 million colonies(15 frames honeybees colony) pollination in 2008. 【Conclusion】 Beekeeping industry is an important component of modern agriculture, bee pollination is essential for agricultural production and there is also a huge demand. Therefore we should pay attention to beekeeping industry, not only to improve the level of social cognition in the value of bee pollination, but also provide powerful policy measures to support the development of apiculture in China.
