This photo shows the dishes inside the platform. Right now I just have 2 but before long I will add one more to each side. The females have just shown up here this week so the traffic will pick up soon!

The fruit right now is in a feeder called the Dinner Bell from Wild Birds Unlimited but other places sell them too. This also allows butterflies to come and feed on the fruit. I just changed the oranges so the two on the baffle will be tossed into the woods for other critters to eat. The orioles don't eat much of the oranges here at my house. Mostly eaten by the red-bellied woodpeckers here.

The humming bird feeder is hanging there and the hummers don't seem to mind. I haven't even put out the oriole nectar feeder and may not if it looks like they don't miss it.

Tip regarding bees.....I try to get this all done in the very early morning before the bees are out or after dark when they are gone for the day.
