The birds and the bees are fighting...really. My lil hummingbirds can't seem to get to their feeder ,because the bees are always on the feeder. Yesterday, the bees attacked one of them. I don't know what to do. I looked up hummingbird feeders and I did everything I found to do from diluting the water more, changing the color of it, bringing the feeder in for a few days, relocating it in my yard,etc but nothing works....grrrr The bees just keep coming. I set out there yesterday with my fly swat and smashed everyone that came up on the porch, but it seemed every time I killed one that two more would come...grrrrr We can't find the nest and I'm sure we probably have more than one nest of them. It's so frustrating. Have any of you had this problem???? What did you do????

I have heard that bounce dryer sheets keep bees away....maybe you could try putting one near it and see if it helps at all. I do not know if it would detract the hummingbirds as well though. Just a thought! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSandy,
ReplyDeleteOK this is too weird. I am having the same issues with mine. I have plenty of flowers for the bees to pollinate but it is definitely keeping all my beautiful hummingbirds away. If I find out anything I will let you know.
