How do i get rid of the bees around my hummingbird feeder?
There a bunch of yellow jackets and wasps around my hummingbird feeder eating the nectar inside it. How do i get rid of them? They scare the hummingbirds when they come (its like a game of tag when they meet). I dont want to put anything out there that may harm the hummingbirds( like poison ) but if there is a home remedy or type of poison that wont bother the hummingbirds that would be awesome!
Answer to- “How do i get rid of the bees around my hummingbird feeder?“: one way to help with the hummingbird feeder bees, wasps and insect problem is to get rid of some of the insects using wasp traps that are available in stores and also online at Amazon. The bees and wasps get into the wasp trap and then can’t find their way back out. Follow the wasp trap link below to find a large selection of wasp traps at Amazon.com . This is a quick way to get rid of lots of insects.
Another way to help keep hummingbird feeder bees and other stinging insects away from your sugar-water hummingbird feeders is to mount bee guards on the hummingbird feeder ports. Bee guards can be purchased which fit on the feeder flowers to keep bees and wasps from reaching the nectar in our hummingbird feeders. Bee guards are small, round, plastic grates that fit over the feeding tube, restricting the insects’ access but allowing the hummers to feed through the grates with their long bills and tongues.
