Best-1 32 Ounce Hummingbird Feeder

I had trouble with bees chasing the Hummer off from the feeder. As soon as I put this up the bees came around and couldn't get to the food in the feeder and left. My Hummer is happy now no pests bothering it.

I like how the bottom unscrews into two pieces for cleaning. Makes it easy and thorough. Also has two resting ring diameters which is nice for different sized hummers, and it has real glass so it won't stain or discolor over the years. This is the sturdiest feeder I've e ever owned and the easiest to clean.

I am constantly searching for the "perfect" hummingbird feeder and, while maybe not perfect, the Best-1 continues to be my first choice. Our outside deck hangs out over the bluffs, overlooking a nature preserve about a 1/2 mile from the beach in Orange County, California. So you might imagine the amount of bird traffic we can get on our deck, including at least 3 species of Hummingbirds. I gauge hummer feeders by 4 criteria: Attractiveness to the hummers; Durability; Capacity; And ease of cleaning. 1. Our Allen, Anna, and Black-Chinned Hummers all seem to have no problem feeding off it. In fact it's usually crowded around our hummingbird feeders. 2. Because of it's simplicity of design, number of components (no bee guards, etc.), these will hold up for years. 3. I love the 32oz size because that's less times that I have to make new nectar, unhang, clean, and refill the feeders (During the "get ready to fly south" on our little deck, even with 2 32oz feeders and 1 DR. Jones 16 oz feeder it's a daily chore. 4. Ease of cleaning is a breeze, except for the narrow opening in the bottle. You have to go on a hunt for a foam-based bottle brush that can reach down to the bottom of the reservoir, and that's not easy to find. That's why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. In fact, if there was a way to give it 4 1/2 I would!
