[Objectives]  To determine the effectiveness of different wasp traps and attractants for use in apiaries. [Methods]  Five types of traps (numbered 1-5) and five attractants (sugar water, vinegar mixed with honey, beer with added sugar, pork, and fish) were used to trap wasps. The best trap type and trapping period were identified by baiting all five trap types with sugar water and comparing the number of wasps trapped by each trap type in three different periods, 7:00-8:00, 10:00-11:00 and 16:00-17:00. After the best trap and trapping period had been identified, the best of the five attractants was determined by placing these in five traps of each type and comparing the number of wasps captured by each attractant. [Results]  Most wasps were caught in No. 2 traps from 7:00 to 8:00 and significantly more wasps were trapped using sugar water than the other four attractants (P<0.05). [Conclusion]  More wasps can be caught using No. 2 traps baited with sugar water between 7:00 and 8:00 AM.
