Nice project and great video description. Just wondering if you had problems with ants finding their way into the feeder? Would it help to add a little vegetable oil to the lip of the bottom bucket that supports the feeder?

Yes Hello, i was wondering if the bees would do good around bamboo , is is harmful or beneficial for them? I know they do explore and travel great distances but never seen them around bamboo. Trying to get started with this and researching all avenues but will have a hive, soon. Thank You

In reply to HeavyD. HeavyD, there are a number of wasp trap designs that can be made from a soda bottle, on the 'net. You bait it with a bit of meat, the yellowjackets will go for that rather than the syrup. Place it away from the syrup and the hives.

Great idea, and I did something similar last fall with a large hummingbird feeder. But then I was told by an experienced beekeeper that open feeding can create a feeding frenzy that would impact people using the area (which it did, but was easily remedied by moving it to a remote area of the property), and also allow diseases to be spread. Any truth to that latter concern?

Love this Gene! Great idea. But wanted you to know that Google Ads pastes a LOCAL EXTERMINATOR ad right over the top of your video!!!!!!
I don’t know how to report it, but Google should be ASHAMED!

I like this idea, but I would think this could be an open invitation for Yellow Jackets. They are a big problem here in southern Ohio.
