Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: how quick do feeders empty?, 1 by Sheila_FW

Mine do not get much use when I have things in the garden in bloom. My sister lives in the country and has no flower beds and her one feeder has 8 hummers fighting over it. Some will drink together but not all of them. You are suppose to clean and refill everyday but I don't. I do good to check and put fresh in at about 3 days.

tsc...the only time I have had problems with the bees has been when I had a hairline crack in my feeder. You might check it out. Also this type of top down feeder is easier for bees to access. I still have a few, but I use the hummdinger now the reserve is at the bottom, and they have an ant moat.
