the superb thank you to keep away from bees is to disclaim them get admission to to the syrup. The HummZinger and Hummerfest feeders are inherently bee and wasp-evidence because of the fact the syrup point is merely too low for bugs to attain, yet truthfully in variety of the shortest hummingbird tongue. in case you prefer to no longer try a clean feeder and bees or wasps persist, first try shifting the feeder, even basically some ft; bugs are actually not extraordinarily intelligent, and could assume the meals source is long previous perpetually. they could never locate it in its new region, on a similar time as the hummingbirds will somewhat be conscious that it exchange into moved. If that would not artwork, take the feeder down for an afternoon, or till you stop seeing wasps finding for it. you will see hummingbirds finding for it, too, yet they gained't provide up almost as quickly because of the fact the wasps.
