Mine were around until last week at least. Took my feeder down as I was out of "feed" and didn't want to make more. Plus, the feeder I've been using for the last 3-4 years finally broke about the first of August. Wasn't able to find an exact replacement so purchased a different type. This one looked a bit nicer but the honey bees loved it! Had never had this problem before and found that the bees flat ran off my hummers

!!! Have heard from others in the area that they have also had this problem for the last month so maybe the problem wasn't entirely due to the feeder.

Have read of another feeder called a HummZinger that's supposed to foil the bees. Has any one tried it and what did you think of it?

Happy Camping!
