So, I'm just straight-up feeding at least one colony of bees on a daily basis now. Mostly honeybees, but there are some yellowjackets dropping by, too. This all started because I'd noticed a dozen or so swarming my hummingbird feeders, and they were frequently getting trapped in them and drowning.

So I opened up my "oriole feeder" (turning it into a big, shallow bowl) and swapped out the other hanging feeder for a small bowl in an antique bird gazebo-feeder (I can't find the right word now. It looks like a gazebo, with low mesh walls. It feeds birds. That thing). And soon, THEY ALL ARRIVED.
