I have 5 colonies in the back yard 20 feet from the back of the house
and a Humming Bird feeder at the front porch.  Not one bee has bothered
it - I don't think a bee could get to the syrup past the little plastic
flowers around the base.  Sounds like the feeder in question is allowing
bees access or is leaking in some way.  If syrup is available I doubt
you could keep the bees away.

5 hives in Memphis and counting.
