It is a red glass feeder with four feeding stations, a built-in ant moat and parts that come apart for washing, and it suits anyone hanging their first feeder.
Getting more bees than hummingbirds? The Jealoeur Hummingbird Feeder won our bee guard search. For a busy yard, the coolabag 26 oz glass feeder holds the most nectar of our picks.

How to choose a hummingbird feeder
Hummingbirds are not fussy about brands. The things that matter are keeping bugs out, keeping the nectar fresh and how easy the feeder is to clean.
- Cleaning comes first. WIRED, quoting a bird expert, says hummingbird feeders need cleaning often, as much as every two to three days. A feeder that comes apart, or has a wide mouth, makes that a quick job instead of a fight with a bottle brush.
- Ant moats and bee guards. WIRED also notes that nectar attracts ants and other insects. An ant moat is a small cup above the feeder that you fill with water, so ants cannot walk down to the nectar. Bee guards are small grilles over the ports that let a hummingbird’s long bill in and keep bees and wasps out.
- Size. A bigger feeder is not always better. Nectar spoils, so a small feeder that the birds empty between cleanings wastes less. Our top pick’s listing makes this point for its compact size. Go big only if you have many birds.
- Glass or plastic. Glass feels solid and scrubs clean; plastic is lighter and will not shatter if it falls (our inference from the materials). Both work.
- What goes inside. Audubon’s recipe is a quarter cup of plain white sugar dissolved in a cup of boiling water, cooled before you fill the feeder. Audubon says never to use honey, which can grow dangerous fungus, and to skip red food coloring, which is not needed and could harm birds. The red on the feeder itself is enough to draw them in.
What we left out, and why
Our three searches returned 193 listings. TwelveTabs shortlisted 30 of them, read the listing pages of 9 finalists, and named a winner and runners-up in each search. We kept five and left out:
- More Birds Red Jewel Hummingbird Feeder, a runner-up in our main search. It is a second glass feeder from our top pick’s brand, and our search ranked it lower because its metal tray parts can rust over time.
- The second listing of the 2 Pack plastic feeders, a runner-up in our bee guard search. It carries the same title as our pick 4.
Wirecutter’s pick for a nectar feeder, the Aspects 367 HummZinger Ultra, is in the comparison table so you can see it next to ours. It comes from Wirecutter’s guide to bird feeders, which says that for a simple nectar feeder, it is hard to beat. It did not come up in any of our three searches.
How we researched
On September 25, 2026 we ran three live TwelveTabs searches of Amazon: “best hummingbird feeder”, “hummingbird feeder with bee guards” and “easy to clean hummingbird feeder”. Together they returned 193 listings. TwelveTabs shortlisted 30 of them, read the listing pages of 9 finalists and named a winner and runners-up in each. We kept five feeders that each suit a different yard, and left out a second glass feeder from our top pick's brand and a duplicate listing. AI wrote this guide from that research.
Listings change: we read them on September 25, 2026, and a size, color or seller may differ today.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best hummingbird feeder?
The More Birds Bird Health+ Ruby won our main search and our easy to clean search. It is glass, has an ant moat and comes apart for washing.
How do you keep bees off a hummingbird feeder?
Choose a feeder with bee guards on the ports. The Jealoeur won our bee guard search with six bee guard ports. Its listing also names a built-in ant moat for ants.
How often should you clean a hummingbird feeder?
Often. WIRED says as much as every two to three days. Pick a feeder that comes apart or has a wide mouth so cleaning stays quick.
Do you need red food coloring in hummingbird nectar?
No. Audubon says red food coloring is not needed and could harm birds. Use a quarter cup of white sugar in a cup of boiling water, and let it cool.
