Bees on feed?

Not an emergency, just a quick question....



I've been putting out fawn pellet feed out for awhile and just this evening noticed there were a lot of bees on it. They did not seem agressive (I know there are certain times of the year where bees move in and then move on) but they were JUST irritating enough to my girls where they couldn't eat in peace. The bees could be gone tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with this in their pens and what type of solution they came up with. (We're south of San Antonio,TX) ....the guy that fills/checks feeders regularly said he was having issues with them as well just this last week.
 
Because of the drought your having there probabley not many flowers out there, try putting some sugar water in a bowl far away from feeders, this should will get them away from the sweet deer feed. they need there sugar fix!! LOL good luck !!!
