How to keep bees off hummingbird feeders

https://www.learner.org/jnorth/tm/humm/bees_at_feeder.html

If you go to a nursery, or big box do-it-all center, they sell these little cups that hang above the ummingbird feeder (between the humming bird feeder and whatever you are hanging the feeder from). You just keep water in it and the ants will stay away. It works kind of like a moat. Ants won't cross water.

Hello Jms080143 :) Here are a few articles to answer your question --- there are SOME things repeated but each article also has something different to offer when it comes to keeping bees (and other insects) away from the feeder you have up for the hummingbirds (my daughter's back yard has a few that come around a lot and the kids get a real kick out of watching them) :) Well, good luck and thanks for coming to HOMETALK for answers:

No bees here, and as open as it is I can't help but wonder if it's because of the red, or what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CYgbIKXUwc

I spray mosquito spray (Off) on it and I don't have that problem anymore. It doesn't harm the hummingbirds. Hope this helps.
