About 70% of total honey products produced by Korean bee keepers was acacia honey. The remaining 30% was chestnut honey, jujube honey, snowbell honey, and another honey. False acacia, went down in payability since the middle 2000s because of simultaneous blooming etiolation chlorsis decreases productivity after aging. Therefore, substitution honey plants were necessary. This study estimated nectar secretion amount of each flower and productivity per ha at 14 medical herbs. Each flower, Codonopsis lanceloata, estimated a majority nectar secretion amount at 176.08 ul for each of the 14 medical herbs. Astragalus membranaceus estimated majority nectar secretion amount at 1273.3 L per ha for each of the 14 medical herbs. Medical herbs were hypothesized with valuable honey plants.
