This is not a bee shelter for an old Perky Pet Feeder

We were hoping this bee shelter would fit our old fun pet feeder. There didn't seem to be a hummingbird feeder with a much better design. Finally we were able to wrap the base with plastic tape and adapt it to the old feeder. They no longer drop out. So our review of these new feeder guards might be too harsh. They just weren't designed to match the better designed old hummingbird feeder.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • unreliable

Unfortunately disappointed with the means of feeding and drinking

The effect was the opposite of what was intended. After adding them to my feeders they are worse than without them. After reading a little more I found that yellow bees are also attracted to a large surface, they will pool into a pool ball and attack feeders until they dry up. To test I removed a few and used some with protection and others without protection, the unprotected eaters saw bees and wasps but not in such numbers and the threshers had a chance to feed. Do yourself a favor, stay…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Matching

They don't repel bees

They are called "bee guards" but they don't repel bees as you can see in my photo. These are only replacement parts for some models of this feeder. I bought these thinking they would be somehow different than the guards that came with the Perky Pet Hummingbird Feeder, but they are not. The problem I see is that bees are attracted to the color yellow. why don't you make them red Red appears dark or even black to the bees. dark objects are considered a threat to bees, so maybe it could work if…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not the best

Definitely Work: Feeders

They keep bees away as long as they stay relatively clean. Hummingbirds can be quite messy and will drop a lot of nectar, just enough for the bees to gather just for the drops. I just turn the hose on low speed and let it flow down the spout for two to three seconds. I've seen significantly fewer bees loitering around this feeder. I removed an identical feeder about 20 feet which I did not put on a protective cover, I left its original flower head in place for the bees. Bees definitely love…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Volume

Delimma best in Birds Bee Protection

Our hummingbird feeder came with flowers and bee protection in each opening (4). They are detachable, they can be cleaned, but they are very fragile. The top snaps on one side and leaves the other side hooked so you can clean the mold. Handle with care. This part breaks so easily! In areas with high humidity, and we are so muggy, mold grows quickly and the feeder has to be dismantled to clean it again. Replacement is necessary because no one, whether you're a lobster or someone who cleans a…

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • Minor Problems

READ THE FINE SEAL BEFORE BUYING!

I have a small Perky Pet hummingbird feeder and the guard needs to be replaced. The little plastic loop you use to open it just isn't very strong and falls apart after a year or so. The beekeeper looks exactly like this product which is why I ordered it. Don't you know, IT DOESN'T FIT! The spout on my feeder seems to be slightly smaller. Oh, this is for the "203", "204" or "403" model. and I have 215. Yes, you really should read the fine print on everything. Perky Pet hummingbird feeders that…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Out of style
