Hummingbird Garden Bees & Beekeeping Garden & Flower Crafts

Do hummingbirds and bees hangout together??

5 years ago

I made a fountain near my hummingbird feeder. I was hoping to attract Hummers. I did see 1 bathing his tummy against the water stream. But the bees have found it and now I have like 10 bees constantly on it. I don't mind the little pollinators in my garden. I was just hoping to enjoy watching my Hummers. I have 2 right now.

I realized I didn't really ask my question. I just needed to know if anyone knows if all the bees in the fountain will keep the Hummers away. Or will they share the fountain?

I can't say about a fountain, but bees and/or wasps on a feeder attack the hummers and chase them away.
