I hope this weekend with cooler temps will keep the bees away. The Hummingbirds will leave here next month as our days will be getting shorter. I didn't have this problem for couple of years, now they are back. Don't use any poisins as you will kill the hummingbirds also. I live in a rural area too.
    Lightly spray the hook with cooking spray ( eg. Pam). The ant's won't cross this line.
