GREAT, well, bees are ok I don't mind them, peaceful little things, but wasps will attack seemingly without reason, and my home-made trap isn't all that elegant you see all the dead wasps floating around in the liquid. Better feed the birds with them still alive but ... because of the wasps, I threw the feeder away so I'll have to buy a new one I guess.

Any tips on where to hang it? I mean, can it be close to the house or does it need to be farther off? In a tree or on the corner of a building? (don't get those little hummers in Europe, I have no clue!)
