Not from experience, but I have read that if you move the feeder it will take the bees a while to find it, where as the hummers will find it right away. You might want to hang them quite a few feet from where they were till you get a more permanent solution.

I live in San Antonio to, and I dont have problems with wasps or bees. They will come to sugar water on the outside of your feeders, and I don't let that happen.

Just be sure your feeders don't leak and the winds don't spill nectar out of your feeders, and the wasps and bees will go away.

My problem is with the crazy ants. I use ant moats to keep them off the feeders. Good luck.

texasfern,
If you are having a problem with actual honeybees and not yellow jackets or other wasps, they are looking for moisture and nectar that is becoming harder for them to find because of the hot and dry weather you all are having. A friend in Calif. solved her honeybee problem by providing a large 'nectar bowl' just for them away from the feeders. She used a chick feeder/waterer from a feed store but any large shallow container would work. just fill the shallow container with sugar water and place it away from your feeders. The honey bees will get the nectar and water they need and leave the feeders alone. I used this method last year when we had a hot dry season and it does work. You may have to relocate your hummer feeder also until the bees find 'their' feeder.

They are honey bees. The yellow jackets left a while back.
I took in the feeders yesterday, put them back out today, bees found them first. I will try the nector bowl next.
Geez, I miss my hummers.

I think penny's idea of the sugar bowl is a good one to draw the honeybees away from the feeder although it hasnt helped my wasp and yellow jacket situation much.

My first nature feeders seem to be pretty much bee free, so next season think I will upgrade to the 32oz FN feeders in place of my pp209 in which the base is hard to clean and keep clean. Surprised I havent done that already. Those even hold more liquid as opposed to the 30oz glass 209 feeders. I will still keep the one 209 that I have and may use it if needed.

Thanks everyone.
I took your idea Penny, thanks. Not sure if it helped, because I took the feeders took the front porch and really didn't check the bowl.
The hummers found the moved feeders really quickly.
I have now placed one back on the patio and so far no bees.
Now I can enjoy them while at the computer in the living room and while in the kitchen.
I'm gettin more feeders.
Thanks ya'll.
