Default European Hornets invading my Humming bird feeders

Here is the story...

I live in a very wooded area which is my problem.

I Have humming bird feeders

First come the yellowjackets but the birds can handle these guys fairly well.

About two weeks ago these huge hornets stated showing up and I mean huge. 1 1/2" to 2" long

Rather agressive.

I looked up what they are. European hornets. They nest in wooded areas, in trees.

I think it would be almost imposible to discover the nest. THey fly into the trees and from there I can't follow very well.

I don't know how to rid these interlopers from the feeders. Birds can't get to feed anymore.

I am very sad about this. I think the only thing to do is not have the feeders.

My heart is sad over this.


any suggestions other than poison cause I don't want to poison anything.

thanks for listening.

peace
