The HummZinger Ultra features 4 ports and holds 12 ounces of nectar. This feeder provides maximum protection against both flying and crawling insects. It has a built-in ant cup in the bowl to stop crawling insects in their tracks and includes 12 Nectar Guard replaceable tips. The Nectar Guard tips are easily added to the underside of the red cover to block entry by insects while still allowing hummingbirds to feed. The cover is bright red to attract hummingbirds and has raised flowers to prevent rain from running into the bowl. The red cover pops off for easy cleaning and filling. The ports may be cleaned with a small hummingbird port brush. The Nectar Guard tips are easily cleaned with the included pipe cleaner. The clear bowl features a fill indicator on the side. Instructions for making nectar are printed on the underside of the red cover. Both the red cover and the clear bowl are polycarbonate. Hanging rod is solid brass. Feeder can be hung or post mounted on a 5/8" wooden dowel or on a piece of 1/2" copper tubing (which has a 5/8" outside diameter). The pole should be inserted into the ground at least one foot. The feeder height may vary, but three to four feet usually works well when pole mounted. Made in the USA. Lifetime Guarantee. The built-in ant moat blocks crawling insects and the patented Nectar-Guard® tips on the feeding ports prevent bees, wasps, and other flying insects from feeding at the ports. These two patented features combine to make the Ultra the most insect-proof feeder on the market. Nectar Guard tips included. Nectar Guard tips are flexible membranes attached to the HummZinger Ultra's feed ports. These tips block entry to flying insects while still allowing the hummingbirds to feed.

Honey bees (or honeybees) are a subset of bees, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests out of wax. Honey bees are the only extant members of the tribe Apini, all in the genus Apis. Currently, there are only seven recognized species of honey bee with a total of 44 subspecies though historically, anywhere from six to eleven species have been recognized. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the approximately 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees.

A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor ant. The suborder Symphyta, known commonly as sawflies, differ from members of Apocrita by having a broader connection between the mesosoma and metasoma. In addition to this, Symphyta larvae are mostly herbivorous and "caterpillarlike", whereas those of Apocrita are largely predatory or "parasitic" (technically known as parasitoid).

Hornets are the largest eusocial wasps, that reach up to 1.8 inches in length. The true hornets make up the genus Vespa, and are distinguished from other vespines by the width of the vertex (part of the head behind the eyes), which is proportionally larger in Vespa; and by the anteriorly rounded gasters (the section of the abdomen behind the wasp waist).

Yellowjacket or yellow-jacket is the common name in North America for predatory wasps of the genera Vespula and Dolichovespula. Members of these genera are known simply as "wasps" in other English-speaking countries. Most of these are black-and-yellow; some are black-and-white (such as the bald-faced hornet, Dolichovespula maculata), while others may have the abdomen background color red instead of black. They can be identified by their distinctive markings, small size (similar to or slightly smaller or larger than a honey bee), their occurrence only in colonies, and a characteristic, rapid, side to side flight pattern prior to landing.
