I'm putting up my first feeder today. I bought it several years ago, but have never used it. I have a hummingbird garden and we have hummers, but I want to put up several feeders. This one has 4 feeding stations with bee guards. I've done some reading, but before I buy any more, I wanted to ask what you guys have the most success with. I would really like to get some of the 'fancy' ones, but they don't always have red feeding stations or bee guards. What are the most important things to look for? I don't want to go for aesthetics if the hummers won't like them.
