From my kitchen window I've got this hummingbird feeder. Those purple things, are not hummingbirds.

They're morning glories!
Sure is pretty isn't it?
Look at the way it wraps around the feeder, in like 2 days!!


This reminds me. These feeders come with little yellow cage like bee guards. They always pop off, end up down the disposal or otherwise just drive me nuts. More to clean and who needs that? AND I've yet to see a bee here the whole time I've lived here. So I pitched the ones I had left.

You know where this is going. I go out to fill the feeder and what do you know? It's full of bees. FULL. Somehow these little devils climbed into that small whole and filled the carafe. When I dumped them some were still moving which made the garbage disposal of them a little yucky.

But now what? I have no bee guards! I check around at lowes and HD and you can't just buy bee guards. The feeder is fine and I don't need another one. So I google it. And Amazon has bee guards! A four pack for like 2 bucks! Maybe three.

So now my little birdies are happy happy happy.

Hmmm, I guess those bee guards are there for a reason. I would have done the same thing though...
