Monday I hung a butterfly feeder (see pic). Butterflies have come within 4-6' of it, but not eaten at it, as far as I know. But, yesterday a wasp found it - and from the way it was eating, wasp meals must be pretty few and far between. Several bees have come near it but not landed on it (just like the butterflies). Now you know that I *love* feeding the bees, and the wasp too, it bothers me not at all. But am wondering -- can the three share the feeder or should I put up something separate for the bees/wasp and hope they eat there? TIA! jo
