Abstract
The present study was conducted at Kafr El-Sheikh governorate, Sakha district, throughout the  peak of the oriental wasp, Vespa orientalis L. during seasons of 2011 and 2012.
The efficacies  of a modified Abou El-Enain traps with different height (0.6, o.85, 1.15 and 1.50 m) and new trap desin, wooden shish window traps were evaluated in an apiary and date palm orchard.
The obtained results revealed that shish window trap significantly attracted more numerous hornet wasps than those captured by using all heights of modified Abou El-Enain trap.
The oriental wasp, V.orientalis  population was relatively higher in the second season than those captured in the first one. On the other hand, the weekly average number of the hornet fluctuated all over the experimental period in the apiary and date palm orchard.
Relatively higher numbers of the honey bee, Apis mellifera were caught in the modified Abou El-Enian trap, especially at 0.6 m.  On the contrary, no catches of honey bee were recorded using wooden shish – window trap in both seasons.
