 A hive of honeybees found my hummingbird feeder.

[Aug. 15th, 2022 07:22:19 PM]

For the first time since I have been hanging hummingbird feeders we have had a swarm of honeybees visiting the feeders. They do not harm the hummers but they prevent them from getting to the sugar water. When I see the bees accumulating I carry the feeder to another location away from the other feeders. I have 6 feeders spread around my yard so there is plenty for everyone!
