First time-need suggestions

16 years ago

I have had my hummingbird feeders out all summer. I was getting ready to make new food when I noticed all kinds of activity around the feeders and upon examining them, I found that there were lots and lots of bees feeding instead of the hummers. I am getting ready to put out new food, but what can I do to keep the bees out of there. They were actually feeding out of the containers and several of them were even half in and half out. Last evening one little hummer just hovered outside my big picture window as if saying "What have you done with my food?" My petunias and zinnias are about done for and could it be they (the bees) are lacking the sources for their own food? I remember hearing that you should not discontinue feeding hummers too early as those inflight need the food. I have been thinking we are going to have an early fall, but who knows? I would appreciate any hints you could give me as this is my first time posting here (zone 5a) - Barb
