How can I keep bees away from my hummingbird feeder?

Question

I see a lot of hummingbirds hovering over the feeder in my backyard but there are lots of bees that scare the hummingbirds away because the bees are trying to drink the nectar from the feeder. Is there any way I can keep the bees away from the feeder?

Answer 1

Well, I would try hiring an exterminator, but that would only apply for really big colonlies, or if you have a hive. I would suggest hanging some bee traps around your feeder. I think they sell some at Home Depot, but I'm just guessing.
