I still have a few Humming birds hanging around,,, and so as long as they are here,,, and my Pineapple Sage is still blooming I keep my Hummer-feeders filled... but for the past 3 days,,, one of the hummer-feeders has been loaded with bees.... (nearest the 1 un-pruned lavender bush... The other feeder has no bees and so the hummers eat there.

I am of the mind that the bees are not bothering me,,, and they probably really need the nectar... so I leave them be.. (no pun intended)...lol!

I've got bees on our hummingbird feeders, also. I haven't seen too many hummingbirds lately. Nice picture, Grace.

Great pic. Those girls are working hard to bring food back to the hive. You're being a good friend to these little incredible creatures.

Thanks for loving the bees too! They need all the help they can get. All of our bees are shivering up here. :)

Brenda,,, I agree,,, it's been a tough time so we don't mind feeding them...
I left 2 of my still flowering lavenders unpruned for the bees and butterflies... and around the corner my pineapple sage bush is still blooming to the delight of my hummers...

This exact thing happened at my house this summer as well. I put up a second feeder for the hummers and left the bees alone. They were so thirsty!!! I would have to fill it every day and in a few hours it was all gone!! I wonder what is going on in nature that the bees felt the need to resort to feeding from feeders? At first I was not a happy hummer mom, but I realized that bees already have such a hard time surviving as it is. They didn't sting us at all. Now the red wasp on the other hand are a different story. Thanks for the pictures.

We need to feed all the critters. Bees are good as long as you don't get stung.
