In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, the excited doubly heavy baryons are thoroughly studied via the channel 
, which takes place at the collision energy Z-pole. 
represents b or c quark for the production of 
, 
, and 
, respectively. All of the intermediate diquark states 
in P-wave, 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, and 
with 
, 1, or 2, are taken into account. The cross sections and differential distributions, including the transverse momentum, rapidity, angular, and invariant mass, are discussed for the excited baryons production. We find that the contributions of 
, 
, and 
in P-wave are found to be 3.97
, 5.08, and 5.89, respectively, compared to S-wave. Supposing that all excited states can decay into the ground state 100%, the total events 
, 
, and 
would be produced at the Super-Z Factory with a high luminosity up to 
.
