Hummingbird feeder

Abstract

A hummingbird feeder for preventing bees from feeding and eliminating the leaking of a sugar water solution has a reservoir, cover and an overflow collector. The reservoir has an open end and a closed end for receiving the solution. The cover has an open end and a closed end for retaining the solution within the reservoir when the open end of the cover engages the open end of the reservoir. The cover has at least one internal orifice which permits the birds access to the sugar water solution. The overflow collector has an open end and a closed end for receiving an overflow of the solution within the reservoir when the open end of the collector engages the closed end of the cover. The collector has at least one external orifice which coincides with the internal orifice. Both internal and external orifices have a diameter which allows the passage of a hummingbird's beak, but not the head of a bee.
