Luv them!  The Hummers couldn't be happier, not to mention the honey bees.  Plus, and this is a BIG Plus....it's made in the USA!!

I bought this feeder from Walmart.  The hummingbirds would come over and look at it but then leave.  I got discouraged and took it down.  I was going to return it.  I put up for them another feeder that I have and they returned to feed.  A few days after that the feeder got bombarded with bees.  They were preventing the hummingbirds from coming to their feeder.  I got very upset for them.  I got online and found some feeders that were bee proof and a little pricier.  I still haven't gotten them but I did order them.  However, since I had this Homestead feeder still at home, I decided to read up some of the reviews.  Most reviews had the same impression as myself.  The birds would look at it and then fly away.
Someone wrote that they cut underneath the cap the insect proof valves which were actually sealed shut at the ends, inside of the feeder.  I decided to cut them as well.  The feeder holes were too small for bees to get into but big enough for the birds beaks.  This feeder will not leak to attract bees.  After a whole day, the hummingbirds would come and look.  Slowly one or two had started to drink from it.  By the third day, they were all back...and it is bee proof. I and the hummingbirds are happy campers.  I'm actually really liking this feeder.

These worked like a charm....following their advice, my wife and 7 year old grand daughter had hummers feeding from their hand held aroma tree feeders within 5 minutes!  What a thrill for all of us!

The photographers take you right along with the daily life of honey bees.  It is fun, educational, beautiful and entertaining; great for all ages.

Although November, and we live North, I am looking forward to feeding the hummers by hand. Years ago, while living in Costa Rica, the La Paz Waterfall Gardens were experimenting with this concept and had GREAT sucess. Now to pray for patience! Lol Quality made, and great link to website for guidelines.

I ordered two of these for myself and then two for my mother because they are just too much fun to have and to watch the hummingbirds come and feed from.  I especially like the fact that the hummingbirds like to check you out as you are checking them out.  I was pleasantly surprised that it took only 2-3 days for them to find it, although I have a large group of birds already in my yard.  I was slightly worried that they would be reluctant to feed at the sliding glass window of my house with my movements going on, as well as my English Mastiff and my 2 cats, but they seem not to mind the noise or the movement beyond the window at all.  It's as if they understand they are safe from the cats on the other side of the glass Ha Ha Ha.  The feeders open up easily which means easy cleanings and easy refillings, and it's nice to be able to see clearly when the food level is getting low. The only main drawback that I've found so far is that it has been a breeding site for a bug (which I haven't quite decided that it's a mosquito for sure).  I guess this could also be a plus though because hummingbirds eat bugs just as often and possibly more so than they do nectar, so this may be good for them to find both foodstuffs in the same spot.  I'm also not sure about bees in the summertime, but we'll have to wait until then to find out about whether that's a problem or not.

This is a wonderful feeder (I have three) unless it is discovered by the bees.  The ports are wide enough that the bees swarm them and stick their little heads in each feeder port.  They also aggressively drive away the hummers that come to feed.  I don't want to hurt the bees, but my hummers are going hungry, so I am ordering bee-proof feeders to see if that helps.  Everything I read says to avoid feeders with yellow bee guards as the color yellow attracts bees and wasps.  Red appears to be best for hummers.

Pros: Glass is easy to clean, bottom fits well, just don't try to over-screw it. Had me laughing watching the bees get frustrated trying to get to the nectar. Other feeders I bought got covered in bees 3 deep and the poor hummers could not fight them off to feed. Smaller than I expected, but holds lots of syrup. All in all was so pleased I bought 2 and I am considering getting some more. Nice size, you can put a dozen of these in a medium tree or hang from your patio eaves and it still won't look over crowded.
Cons: The hummers can't find the openings. I bought some model paint in bright yellow and painted a yellow circle around each opening on the plastic bottom. Model paint will stay on the plastic through washings and rain. Do not paint the glass, it never lines up with the bottom the same way twice! As soon as the paint dried and I filled them and put them back up. Hummers found the openings immediately.

This is not my first Hummzinger Hummingbird Feeder and since there is no yellow, it doesn't attract bees like my older ones did.
I usually keep two or three feeders up as  soon as the hummingbirds are due to arrive and only take them down when the hummingbirds disappear in the late fall.  The hummers seem to really like these feeders and as stated above they don't have to compete with the honeybees.

All I can say is that I have more hummers at my feeders than ever before since I started using this product.

We have used Aspects feeders for the last 5 years or so.  Our experience is that they are easy to clean and fill.  They're durable and the rich red color of their tops does not bleach out in the sun.  Our ruby throat hummers really seem to love them; and when they're not busy fighting each other off, they settle in for long drinks on the surrounding perch.  To top it off, these feeders are absolutely beautiful.  We simply could not ask for more in a hummingbird feeder!

I love these feeders.  We have so many hummers that the smaller feeders ( 30 oz and less)kept us really busy.  At the busy season I had 12 of these up.  I love the feeding ports and the perches....the hummers are so cute to watch sitting there. The Grand Master is really easy to clean compared to any others I have had ... and that's alot.  You can get a small brush easily into the base and the top you can use brush, cloth or you whole hand...lovely.  The leaking issue... all my feeders leaked.....And I loved these so much it was worth figuring how to remedy the messy problem.  I put clear silicon all around the seam on the bottom. I then let it dry over night.  And nary a drip.  I wash the bottoms carefully and had no problems all summer! My little friends really fuss if their favorite feeder is low and 48 oz gives me a little more time. I gave it 4 stars only because I had to remedy the leak.  Thank you Perky Pet  for the grand master!  I'm in New Mexico,  it is March and I'm really excited about my little friends coming home soon.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!  I did some research and found that this feeder was highly recommended by caring hummingbird enthusiasts.  Have not had a problem with insects.  The design with the bar gives these little voraciously energy devouring birds a chance to rest while they get their easy fill of sugar water.  Then they can get out forage for the little bugs that they really need to survive. I found that the reason other feeders do not have the bar is so people can selfishly enjoy watching these birds in flight.  From my window or sitting on the porch I still get to see and hear these birds in flight and this feeder's design compassionately allows the bird a rest will feeding at the same time.  Easy to clean and fill.

At first my hummingbirds did not seem to like this feeder, but now I have three of them.  The other feeders were taken over by honeybees, so the hummingbirds needed feeders that would not be bothered by the bees, and this fits the bill.  Occasionally I will see a bee on this feeder, trying to get down inside the hole, but for the most part they leave it alone.  Small insects such as flies can fit in the holes so sometimes I'll find them floating in the sugar water.  The feeder also stays stable during high winds without dumping out the water, unlike other feeders.  The reason I only gave the feeder 4 stars is because it's slightly difficult to clean, but overall I do recommend it.

These have the best concept for a hummer feeder -- very easy to clean, bee proof, for us it prevents the woodpeckers from messing with them, and lastly great for viewing the hummers.

I have two of these feeders now (and a host of other oriole feeders).  While I initially gave it five stars, I must re-submit as it allowed a slew of honey bees inside, where they drowned.  So sad.  I tried moving the feeder around the yard and hiding it from the bees, but this ploy did not work. The orioles have left for the season (I live in Southern California, Orange County) but, for this reason, I cannot purchase this feeder again and will give mine away to the Salvation Army.

Each summer, I give the honey bees their own feeders in hopes they will leave the other hummingbird and oriole feeders alone.  I give them more sugar than the birds get.  For this feeder, I ended up using much less sugar than usual in hopes of keeping the bees away but they seem to be drawn to this type of feeder.
