One of the best ways to keep honey bees off your hummingbird feeder is to keep the feeder clean. Empty and refill the feeder every few days, and wash it with hot, soapy water every week. You can also try coating the outside of the feeder with petroleum jelly or beeswax.
Honey bees are attracted to hummingbird feeders because of the sugar water solution that is used to attract hummingbirds. There are a few ways that you can keep honey bees off of your hummingbird feeder:
One way to keep honey bees off your hummingbird feeder is by using a feeder that has a bee guard. A bee guard is a small wire or plastic screen that covers the opening of the feeder. The bee guard prevents the bees from getting to the sugar water solution, but allows the hummingbirds to drink from the feeder. Another way to keep honey bees off your hummingbird feeder is to use a feeder that has a built-in bee guard. A built-in bee guard is a small wire or plastic screen that is built into the feeder.
The bee guard prevents the bees from getting to the sugar water solution, but allows the hummingbirds to drink from the feeder. You can also keep honey bees off your hummingbird feeder by using a feeder that has a bee proof top. A bee proof top is a piece of wire or plastic that covers the top of the feeder. The bee proof top prevents the bees from getting to the sugar water solution, but allows the hummingbirds to drink from the feeder.
