Optimum conditions for production of honeycomb and honey in plastic jar using characteristics of beeswax excretion of honeybee were investigated. Based on our observations, application of comb-foundations in jar was more effective than simply beewax-treated jar in the benefits of time-reduction for comb-formation and honey-production. In this study, comb-foundations were placed in a large plastic cylinder form jars. Small central cylinderform comb-foundation was used with or without 16 plates (rectangles) of comb-foundations around small cylinder. In the experiments in field, the completion time of construction for honeycomb and honey stocks in comb were finished 11-31 days according to form of comb-foundation or numbers of jars per hive. Also, the productivity of comb-construction and honey in plastic jars were discussed based on experimental results and calculations.
