The growth of honeybee equals the increase of individual numbers of honeybee. A erstwhile method of measure of individual numbers of honeybee was not scientific method. In this research, scientifically measured that individual numbers of honeybee used photography of hive attached honeybee. Take a picture the hive that attached honeybee using digital camera. And the individual numbers of honeybees were actually measured after anesthetized using carbon dioxide. The photography of hive transferred to the computer and adjusted to actual size of hive. The three circles which has 6.25㎠ of area were arranged to three random position or arranged onto the three specified location after dividing by nine areas. And then, individual numbers of honeybee in the circles and average value of individual numbers were calculated. And it calculated the area of attached honeybee on the hive at the photography. And reckoned the virtual individual numbers of honeybee in the hive using average value of individual numbers of honeybee in the three circle and area of attached honeybee on the hive. Also, individual numbers was calculated by multiplying 0.49 of correction value at random position which was deduced in this research and 0.51 of correction value at the specified location. Consequently, individual numbers of honeybee measured at the random position had about 90 numbers with actual value and individual numbers of honeybee measured at the specified location had about 16 numbers with actual value. That is, it was turned out that it had very low difference. As a result, it measured scientifically individual numbers of honeybee thus it judged objectively confirm about growth of honeybees.
