Subject: [obol] Bees at hummingbird feeders
Hi Larry,
I am sending this to you individually as I want to share with you what I do
and do not wish the wrath of others who may consider my method incorrect :-)
I had hundreds of bees cluster on my hummingbird feeder a few days ago and
considered calling a bee keeper. I waited until evening and when the bees
were gone, I brought the feeder inside, washed it thoroughly. Refilled it
with 1 cup water, ¼ cup sugar formula
and, dabbed my finger onto a piece
of wax paper on which I had barely sprayed some PAM. Then, carefully dabbed
the portals with the PAM dabbed onto my finger tip. Hummingbirds continue
at the feeders
bees dont.
