Spray orange oil on the top to keep the ants off
Thanks for this tip! Ants are the reason I haven’t been filling mine.
Mine are covered with honey bees. The hummingbirds have to fight to find an open feeder.
If you have the feeder on a Sheppards hook you can also go to Green Thumb and purchase a ant moat for about $6. Place it on the hook and then the feed on the ant moat hook…..fill it up with water. we love our ant moat
These work! All of my feeders are hanging from one. Vaseline is not a good idea. Lowes carries them.

Use white sugar only. One cup sugar to,4 cups water. Boil the water first, add sugar let it cool. No red dye, no organic or brown sugar, no agave, or honey. Avoid the red premixed stuff.
We have the ant moat as well,it works great
If I could hang mine that would be great but we have been having bear issues so no feeder
Just put cotton on the top
This is the one we have. Never have to replace it just add water
Ant moats dry up too fast here due to wind and heat.

what about bees how do you get rid of them?
For years ,I have put vegetable oil on the rope / wire that the feeder hangs. It works—no ants.
