Lil Little the dominant female is spending less energy chasing off the others when they come in to feed at the same time she is. As long as they don’t dare go near her favorite feeder and the flowers around it. There’s been a sudden population explosion of sweat bees small enough to get past the bee guards and end up floating inside the feeders. So many crowd in they can block every portal with numbers the birds can’t chase away. All I can do is clean and reposition each feeder as often as possible during the day. The Hummingbirds find them immediately but it does confuse the bees for awhile.
