To treat my mother, an amateur ornithologist, on Mother's Day, I refurbished some hummingbird feeders. After cleaning them, I installed ant traps/moats made from biodegradable plastic using a 3D printer. These moats can be easily printed instead of buying bottled water or soda. A bit of caulk or Sugru is needed to seal the hole for the feeder's wire/hanger, keeping it functional and ant-free while also providing a bath for hummingbirds. I will post pictures after refurbishing is complete. The moat measures 50mm x 50mm with a depth of 10mm, and leaves 5mm clearance for the wire/hanger hole. Next, I'll tackle bee prevention.
