RDA (Rural Development Administration) and YIRI (Yecheon-gun Industrial Insect Research Institute) developed triple crossbred honey bee (Apis mellifera) for increasing honey production. We examed characteristics such as cleaning behavior, hony collection, resistant of disease, aggressivity of jangwon honeybee, that was new germ line of A. mellifera in Korea for increasing honey production. In 2015, jangwon was collected honey about + -26.81kg, which was more than others commercial lines (control 1: + -18.56kg, and control 2: + - 20.06kg). Worker was collected honey about + - 19.98mg, which was more than others (control 1: 18.44mg, and control 2: 13.73mg), individually. Number of worker bees was 10,451/colony in the jangwon colony before wintering, was more than that of controls (control 1: 14,400/colony and control 2: 10,900/colony). The result of hygienic behavior was observed jangwons nest-cleaning activity by test of pin killed pupa in capped cell. The Jangwon has superior hygienic behavior by complete removing of dead pupae (96.15%) compared with controls (77.91% and 79.31%) after 48 hour. Finally, we was test of janwon's aggressivity (defensive behavior) compare with controls by observation of stings. Janwon are more gentle than controls about 49% to 88%.
