Hi,

I know they are claiming that the bees are disappearing, well I think they are all in my yard. They keep overrunning my oriole and hummingbird feeders. Does anyone know how to keep them away? Or is there something I can put nearby to distract them? The orioles don't like the feeder when it is full of dead bees. (Although a woodpecker did come to the feeder and eat a bunch of the sugar coated bees one day. LOL) And the bees are chasing away the hummingbirds.

I have tried removing them for a few days and moving them every couple of days, but they find them quickly.

Any suggestions?

Dion :)
