do bees or butterflies like these?

I didn't have a lot of bees or butterfly last year but I know they do like them, not necessarily as much as they do wild flowers tho. But these are the most beautiful marigolds I've ever grown! And "seeds and things" have my vote for being a reputable seller! !

the bees loved them! I had hundreds of honeybees. I don't remember seeing many butterflies

Yes, especially the redish orange ones. Future seeds are easily obtainable from the flowers if you don't deadhead them.

Haven't seen any in mine yet. I've seen everything else in there including millipedes, spiders, a few beetle-like bugs including Asian beetles, but so far haven't seen any earwigs in my house, though they are in my garage and outside. I'd almost bet they would attract the earwigs. I'm finding bugs in there that I didn't know were in my house, because of the carpet. These things are awesome, I love them.

No what they keep away are mosquitoes but they don't kill bees or butterflies. The seeds I scattered around two years ago have produced blossoms all over the place. It makes my lawn look more natural. They are a very hardy plant.

I'm not sure. The cupcake I took home was in the fridge for a week, and the bumblebees on it were still in tact. They're a thick sugar shape (kinda like the thickness of a sugar cube).

I don't think they will fit on the bee. These replace the front wheels which can be removed so I guess you could try them if you're able to remove the wheels on the bee as well. They're definitely substantially bigger than the wheels currently on your bee! Hope this helps!

Correct. They are embroidered butterflies between the two layers of the tumbler. They don't move or slip around either.

I have these, 6, in a wire wrap type hanger and I don't have a bee or yellow jacket problem. Mine is on a hanger in the middle of a butterfly garden with a lot of flowering plants, lantana, butterfly bush, etc. No bee or yellow jackets.

Well, I don't know the answer to that one - but I see the hummingbirds sipping at our huge lilac bush on the other side of the house - I would think the red color and nectar would attract them to the feeder if they're already flitting around the lilacs anyway - so I think it's worth a try!

I don't really know. , I had no directions with mine so I just planted them and they did fine, but that was early summer. Wish I could be of more help Julie, I sent the question to Amazon but they did not bother to answer, maybe you could ask them. Hope yours does well as the butterflies do like them. Mary

I have not had a problem with bees or wasps on these feeders, and I have on other types. I HAVE found ants on and inside the feeder though, but they don't seem to bother the hummers, and since it is emptied every other day and needs refilling, I keep the feeder cleaned and any ants are not there very long.

I originally said I don't know, but I think the answer is actually no. I have a lot of honeybees too and Ive never seen one in the trap. Probably because they don't burrow

I haven't needed any nectar guard tips for my Hummzingers....the bees and wasps don't seem to be able to get into the nectar ! :)

I don't believe so, only flying insects that are attracted to carbon dioxide and light (mostly mosquitoes and moths).

Honestly who knows. It could be because its that different with different orders. Or it could be a pessimist vs an optimist. I wouldnt call any of my butterflies dull. I think they are beautiful.

I personally have not had a problem with bees. I use this feeder because the holes are larger than the average hummingbird holes, so orioles can eat from this feeder. I actually have more orioles using this feeder than hummers. Since I'm trying to attract orioles, that works for me. If you're only feeding hummers and you have lots of bees, then you should look at the other types of bee-resistant feeders.
