I guess fall is around the corner because the yellow jackets seem to be coming in droves to my hummingbird/oriole feeders. I watched them actually drive a hummingbird away this am. I found this older thread where is was suggested to spray Pam cooking spray on the feeders because the bees don't like it but it doesn't seem to bother the birds. Someone also suggested putting out a "decoy" dish of sugar water at the edge of the garden and that the bees would flock there, instead. I will give that a try ( http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/891541/ ) . I also read in one of my books that you can put Vaseline or Vick's around the feeding ports, but this seems like it would bother the birds-has anyone given this a try?
Thanks!
Deb
