Honey bees are taking over my hummingbird feeders Help! (1 Viewer)

Thanks for the tips, and if anyone else is having problems this is what has worked for me so far.

:t:

Thank YOU for posting your recipe for success! I never would have thought of Mountain Dew, but I guess I'll have to try some (only for the bees, though).

Perky Pet makes a very popular (and common) feeder with bee guard.

That's right, and though you can buy replacement "bee guards" for those particular feeders they're not something you can add onto an existing feeder (at least not easily). IMO, "bee guards" are a sign of poor feeder design.
