All that you really need to do is to have a feeder where the birds feed
from the top, in other words- not gravity fed and don't fill it up all the
way. Hummingbirds have long tongues and bees/yellow jackets/wasps do not.
Check out Aspects Hummzinger- best design on the market with a lifetime
guarantee on the parts.

A small spot of DEET ion the center of the bottom (outside) of the

feeder seems to reduce the bee/wasp interest by 70%+. Comments ?
