Is anyone else having problems with bees?? They are all over my duck feeders.
Yes. The problem is that it is too warm for winter but there is not much in the way of a nectar flow for them to eat from. They are attracted to the sweeteners in the feed. Normally in winter they stay clustered inside their hive to stay warm but it's too hot for them to do that with the warm temps we've had this winter. Bee keepers are usually good about feeding their hives during such times but the wild bees don't have that luxury. I've actually considered making a bee feeder and putting it out to see if I can get the bees away from the coops.
