Josephine,

I had trouble with bees a couple of years back so I placed pie pans and small glass flower bowl stakes in the far corners of my yard filled with a strong solution of sugar water into them. The bees quickly learned that those had a sweeter mixture and they hit up those instead of the feeders and fruit stations. Uhm...they would literally cover the pie pan or end up drowning in the bowl stake...but alas, you can't beat the bees and I found it was the perfect way to get rid of the red dye hummie mixes that I didn't want to use on my hummies.

Here's an old photo of a crazy hummie that decided to check it out anyway...dead bees and all!
