The yellow-legged hornet, Vespa velutina nigrithorax, is a keen hunter of domestic honeybees. Four traps were tested and compared in order to find lure for V. velutina nigrithorax Queen. Lure materials such as honeybee comb extraction, honeybee extraction, rice wine and sugar syrup investigated for attraction efficacy. Honeybee extraction, rice wine and sugar syrup baits (5:3:2) was the best combination for trapping queen on spring. And we was able to observe V. velutina Queen in late April to May.
