Five prunus plants (Prunus persica, P. mume, P. serrulata, P. tomentose, and P. armenica) were tested for inhibition effect against Apis mellifera. Of those, P. persica leaves showed the strongest effect inhibiting the working of honeybee evidently. The major volatile compound of P. persica leaves was identified to be benzaldehyde by GC and GC/MS analysis. And then the ground leaves of P. persica were tested to inhibit or not the working of honeybee in hive for the purpose of its practical use, and showed enough inhibitive activity. After removing the ground leaves on hive, all honeybees repaired within 30 minutes. The ground leaves of P. persica was developed as a material inhibiting the working of honeybee to reduce the bee-keeper's labor on extracting honey through the design of treatment method.
