I put on the wasp guards on and a second or third feeder goes up without =
them. My hummingbirds have almost all gone now. Big movement out Tuesday =
night. At dark the feeders were swarming and in the am it was so quiet. =
I have a momma with a late youngster feeding here now and it will be =
awhile I think before the youngster is ready. Just too fresh to go just =
yet.=20



My hummer feeder is attracting more wasps than Hummingbirds at the =
moment. I hung up a false wasps nest nearby  but it's not stopping them. =
I don't want to spray,  as it's only temporary and might harm the birds. =
I think the wasps are keeping the birds away. Any ideas how to get rid =
of them?=20
