pull the little yellow flowers off

try spraying pam non stick spray on the feeders and on the pole. this will keep the ants and the bees away. respray everytime you change your hummingbird food

they attack the metal feeder less than the plastic ones.

Just the plastic flowers on the feeder!!!

Any bright colore atracks bees, hornets, wasp.

do the feeders have yellow on them?

yellow attracts bees

Would you like to trap them. If so this is a cool trick.

Take one 2litter bottle. Cut a hole close to the top about the size of a quater. Pore 1/2 cup of vinger, 1/2 cup of dawns dish detergent. Take a banna pill or a hot dog tye it to a string, insert it suspened in the bottol and put the lid on it.

Hang this bottol on a tree or any thing. This will catch yellow jackets, hornets. Have fun.

Yellowjackets and i think some black hornets!!

were they honey bees or yellow jackets.

Saw one hummingbird today,no bees yet!!!

Ron how did the bee watching go today.

probably be more fun watching ron swat at bees especially if he makes them mad

Now if they are yellow jackets or wasp I have a solution for this to. You can make a trape to catch them,

The bees are atrackted to the sugar water. There is nothing you can do. The honey bees will not sting you unless you mash them. The birds will not mind the bees being there.

Watch them a while you may start enjoy watching bees.

a fly swatter

This might make you feel a little better about helping out the bees.

the only prob I have had w/ my feeders this year is ants!! Maybe plant something that flowers so the bees will be attracted to that.

Nope! Try moveing it is all you can do. Once they find it they will keep coming back.

Is there anything to keep bees away from them?
