Hungry Critter

There's nothing like a bee or wasp to drink all your hummingbird food. Yes, I know... that's not a bee or even a wasp. I just don't know what it is... something or other but it was thirsty and kept the hummers from having some lunch. I guess the thing (whatever it is) has to eat, too. Just not at my feeder!! Joining with Saturday Critters

    Hello, I have seen the bees and ants around my hummingbird feeders. It is a constant battle! Thanks so much for linking up your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!

    I have seen them here - I think it is some kind of wasp. Maybe the bee guards on your feeder will discourage it, and it will go somewhere else. I am seeing bees at my Hummingbird feeders, but the Hummingbirds come right in to the feeders anyway. I have eight feeders and it is a job keeping them all filled!
    Excellent photo!
    Have a wonderful day!

    But a nice photo of a critter all the same. A hornet maybe? My feeders have a reservoir for water to keep the ants from crawling in the but the bees fly so . . . Once they get inside they drown, sigh.

    This is exactly how I feel about unwanted critters including the deer who mowed down my garden! 🙂

    I used to have a big bee problem with my feeders (still see them some) and they would actually push their way past the bee guard and drown inside the feeders! That was mostly honey bees that were small enough to do that. Nice photo, Mom!

    I wonder what that insect is? I've not seen one like that. Irritating for sure. I wish I could blast out of my yard what ever ate at my string beans. It's not rabbits, I know that. I have a screen around the planter.

    You would think the hummingbirds would just shove them out of the way … sigh. Nice shot.

    I have feeders. ONe in front, one back. I had to switch them, because the yellow jackets were getting in a drowning. The opening is too large in the one feeder!
