desiree asked how do you keep bees away
00:05
from your hummingbird feeders this is a
00:07
great question because wasps always come
00:09
and you know just hang out and they
00:11
drink out of it i don't really mind but
00:14
yeah if you don't want a lot this is how
00:16
you do it yeah notice they don't come to
00:18
that one they come together they can't
00:19
there's no fluid for them to get to they
00:21
can't get down through the hole
00:23
and they can't reach the fluid and the
00:24
fluid is not getting pushed out when you
00:26
have one of the other feeders
00:29
like this it's always going to be some
00:31
dripping around here the bees have ready
00:34
access
00:35
to sugar water and so you get a
00:37
collection of bees on here and the
00:38
hummingbirds have to fight with them to
00:40
see who's going to drink the nectar and
00:42
it's only because they drip yeah that's
00:44
it and that's another reason i use
00:46
almost exclusive police because i don't
00:48
have any problem with bees at all yeah i
00:50
never even thought about that but yes
00:51
they we have the a tubular feeder and
00:54
the wasps come to that but i kind of
00:56
like i don't mind with a good ant moat
00:58
you can keep the ants from getting right
01:00
about having to buy another ant moat and
01:01
the chickadees
01:03
love to drink this water for some reason
01:05
i don't know why but they're always up
01:06
here drinking water gold fences will
01:08
come in goldfish is awesome but desiree
01:10
i'm glad that you asked the question
01:12
because you certainly don't want to have
01:14
bees competing with your hummingbirds
01:17
for your nectar and that's a great
01:19
question i had no idea so we we'd love
01:22
that you guys all asked these questions
01:24
yes and that i didn't wasn't thinking
01:25
about it but that's another reason to
01:26
use this type of feeder because of the
01:28
bees and i didn't think about it because
01:30
i don't have a bee problem
01:32
because i use one of these
01:34
exactly
01:46
