Wow- yellow attracts bees & wasps?!? I didn't know that. Why do they make the "bee & wasp guards" yellow? I might be better off taking them off. I'll take a pic tomorrow showing what they look like around noon... so covered with bees the hummers don't have a chance. I read that bees hate peppermint oil, so I'm going to find that and try it too. Don't bother with the cooking "extract". It's 95% alcohol and evaporates before they can even smell it.
