I’ve been battling bees on my hummingbird feeders for a while now. Once they find a sugar source, they’re hard to get rid of… but I think I’ve found a solution.

Mint leaves.

Bees hate the smell and hummingbirds can’t smell at all so it’s the perfect deterrent.

If I can get the hummers used to the new leafy attachments.

They kept buzzing around, not sure what to make of it.

I didn’t think it would be a big deal. They drink nectar from flowers and flowers have leaves.

A few brave souls have made peace with it so I’m hoping the rest will soon.

The bees?

Gone!
