Re: Hummingbird Feeders & Wasps

After I read the response recommending the saucer-type hummingbird feeder, went to town & purchased a Perky Pet brand. Quite similar to recommended feeder, except the feeder ports have yellow flower covers, while recommended one was all red. Will say, that even with the yellow ports, have seen no more than 2 yellow jackets at a time on the feeder & only for a few seconds. Where the day previous, on inverted bottle type, had 8-10 at every port & 20-30 more hovering all around. 

So, quite satisfied  with the Perky Pet type. And, the Calliope & BC Hummingbirds have been feeding, unmolested by wasps, all day. Believe main benefit is simply switching to a saucer style feeder, once the yellow jackets & wasps swarm. Hope this helps, if getting invaded by wasp swarms.
