Juvenile hummingbirds used to be afraid of wasps. Adult male/female would chase them off before Juveniles would visit the feeders. This week, we are seeing Juveniles feeding from feeders surrounded by wasps. There are bee guards on feeder ports but the wasps wait for hummingbirds to leave some sugar water on flowers. We have painted the flowers red to see if wasps will stop visiting the feeders.
