I have had these 20 or so all summer. They are clearing out the three feeders nearly daily now. Feeding all day long. Getting ready for there long journey to get home for the winter. Soon the Honey bees will take over there feeders and they will not be able to get a drink. Unfortunately this happens every year. I have a honey bee hive in a tree. I have tried everything to help the poor Hummingbirds to get a drink but nothing helps. The bees follow me when I go to move the feeders. It really forces the hummingbirds to leave. Usually happens mid to end September
