Bees in my humming bird feeder, how do I prevent them and keep the hummingbirds?

I have tried making a sweeter feed mix 2 to 1 sugar water, in an another feeder and attracting the bees away, from the 4 to one hummingbird mix, (didn’t work) the bees just used both feeders, I tried spraying the bees and the feeder with soap and water, it chased the bees away for about 5 min but the soap migrates into the syrup and is not as attractive to the birds, The bees still come.

How do I get rid of the bees swarming my hummingbird feeder?

I don’t want to use something harmful to the birds but am wondering if anybody else has had this problem and solved it? The bees have taken over, covering every feeding hole on the feeder..The poor hummingbirds fly by, take one look, and leave. I used to have at least 10-15 that fed every day, all day. Help!
Yes, I realize WHY the bees like the feeder..I also realize that it’s probably NOT possible to prevent..but wanted to know if anybody did actually have any idea?
Yes-the bees are yellow jackets..Like berkut said I also like bees too, but I would like to have BOTH the birds and bees. :) Not just the bees… Thankyou everybody who actually had a helpful answer!

I just started feeding wild birds with a feeder in my yard.?

I’d like to try hummingbirds also, do they all get along? Watching these little birds, along with my cats sitting below the feeder watching the birds too, is too cute.
