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.

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.

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.
