Pat, I agree with you regarding multiple birds at one feeder - I have never seen more than one feeding at a time, the females spend more time defending the feeders than feeding.
I have an issue right now with Bee's all over my feeders. Does anyone know of a good way to keep the bees away without actually harming them? Thanks.

This must have been a good nesting year for them. Too bad they spend most of their time chasing each other away from the feeders. I have 3 feeders located out of site from each other, as that was recommended to me. I don't understand how I see pictures in magazines of people holding up feeders with 5 - 10 hummingbirds drinking from them when all I see is the "Big Chase".
