How about a shop vac, and you can be selective not bother the bees. A shot of
bug spray on a paper towel in the vac, walk by then and clean up. Only down
side in my extension cord is 50 feet...

I don't think that there is a feeder that will repel wasps, hornets, or
yellowjackets. Some years are worse than others. A wasp trap seems to be the
best strategy, which tends to catch mostly yellowjackets, most of which are
non-native.

Thanks, Allen, for your report. I am going to try to find a better
hummingbird feeder as this situation has been a problem.

Hummingbird enthusiasts,
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology has just published a paper titled:
Vigilance behaviors of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris)
reflect elevated risk of competitive interactions with vespine wasps.
