Answer: get the Hummzinger Ultra -the HummZinger Ultra, combines patented Nectar-guard tips with a built-in ant moat. Nectar-Guard tips are flexible membranes attached to the HummZinger Ultra’s feed ports. These unique tips prevent bees, wasps, yellow jackets & other flying insects from feeding at the ports while allowing unrestricted feeding by hummingbirds. A hummingbird’s bill easily slips through these flexible membranes, but they form an impenetrable barrier to insects.

As long as you put sugar in the feeder you will find bees. However there are some feeders the bees can’t feed from and they will stay away.

You really can’t because the hummingbirds are attracted to the sugar as well as the honey bees. In the long run your are actually helping them both at once. The bees may not have enough food to survive so they are feeding off your feeder. The hummingbirds are the same way.
