How do I keep the bees of the hummingbird feeder?

Hi,


We have a hummingbird feeder on our slider door. And all these honey bees keep coming up and hogging the feeder. When he hummingbirds come up, the bees try to chase them away and sting them. How can we keep the bees off?








Thanks!How do I keep the bees of the hummingbird feeder?
Perhaps get a second or third feeder even so there is more food to go round. That way the bees don't bother the humming birds! Also look to check that their nest isn't somewhere in your house becasue that could be why you have so many! If it makes you feel better we have a raccoon problem and they are even worse large pest! We cage them and transport far away but we still have like tones of raccoons trying to live in are attic! The bee problem is bad but perhaps there is a way around it by more feeders. Even maybe changing the type of drink you put in the feeder! Wish I could be of more help and good luck!How do I keep the bees of the hummingbird feeder?
Maybe try to find some flowers the bees like. Keep them happy, and give them another source of food. As for the birds I do not believe the bees will do much harm to them so I wouldn't worry about them. Although watching them get chased off by bees may be less appealing then watching them feed.
They make bee guards for hummingbird feeders:
