We have never had a bear problem with hummingbird feeders and there ARE bears in the woods around us and have been on our property, right next to the house. We HAVE had a problem with bird seed feeders and bears. We no longer use bird seed.
However, I seem to remember a friend having a problem with hummingbird feeders and bears. They also have bird feeders and have to watch out for bears and I may have gotten the two types of feeders they have mixed up.
Further, if you have both types of feeders, the seed (even spilled seed on the ground) may draw the bears and the hummingbird feeder could become collateral damage.
