Considering Droll Yankee's Happy Eight 2...on garden pole (1 Viewer)

Last year we had issues with the raccoon tipping the feeders making bees coat the entire outer surface to get the sugary liquid that spilled. So this year I am considering getting the garden pole and mounting it from the bottom. Possibly keeping it from tipping. (Mind you we had a similar style but another brand of feeder last year but hanging)

Does anyone feel that when on a pole these are more apt to be less of a chance being tipped?

Also...territorial hummingbirds were attempting to knock other hummers from the air. So...would it be more practical to maybe purchase the smaller feeders they now offer that is similar to the one mentioned but with 4 feeding stations...scattering them around the garden...on garden poles since it mentions they can be screwed onto them.
