Looking forward to seeing those little cuties again. They are truly amazing. I was very surprised to have them show up on Rattlesnake Island since there are not too many flowers around because of the deer.
Had a bit of trouble with ants wanting to drink the sugar water. We took a small plastic cup (I cut the handle off a 1/8 cup measure) and drilled a small hole in it. Put the line the feeder hangs from through it and epoxied into place. When it cured, filled the cup with water. The ants couldn't make their way around it. Worked like a charm.
