Try bee hives...My humming bird feeder is overrun with bees how do I get rid of them/?
The problem is with the design of the feeder.





The feeders that have short feeding stations and that are larger than necessary will have this problem. I have two feeders within 10 feet of each other. One has large openings and bees can even crawl into the opening and into the nectar reservoir. The other feeder the feeding outlets are quite small and the bees can not reach the nectar save for a drop or two that the birds may leave at the edge of the opening.





Best advice is buy a better quality feeder and remember that if you can find one with small openings it will help.
well you can even do this or that you can call the bugg people and git rid of them or you can do this run the whose on them and run! don't answer #1 sound moch better lol bye
THEY SELL YELLOW JACKET TRAPS AT MOST STORES, PUT THAT UP CLOSE TO YOUR HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER AND THEY WILL BE MORE INTERESTED IN THAT THAN YOUR HUMMINGBIRD FEEDER
I have answered this same question before, they sell bee hives, they are plastic things that hold sweet stuff and allow the bees to fly in and not out they hang next to the hummingbird feeders and are yellow shaped like a hive Good Luck on the Bees they can be annoying
Here's one solution I found:





bee bombs:





Take a 2 litre plastic pop bottle and cut an upside down T about 3/4 of the way up the bottle on both sides. Make it one inch long and high. Gently push the flaps inward, you now have a triangle looking shape. Don't push them in too far just leave a small opening enough for the bee to crawl in. Punch two small holes in the cap and thread a string through to hang it up. Fill the bottle with a can of cola. The bee's are attracted to the pop, they crawl in and can't get out
Bee guards on the openings.
you could kill all the bees in the whole world, a little drastic i know but i feel its the only way to be sure that thay won't return!





Or buy a can of raid.
