You're caught in the middle and really cant do much. You can switch to nectar, using the hummingbird recipe of white granulated sugar (eg...cane), and use bee guards. (1 part sugar to 4 parts water) Some people put a small saucer of nectar out, just for bees, away from the bird feeders. Personally, I don't do it. (no food coloring is needed in nectar, as it's naturally colorless.

Jelly is readily taken as seen. One problem that can occur in the warmth of summer, is the jelly liquefying and getting on bird plumage. That can increase stress on the birds. There are specialized jelly feeders, but no bee guards can be used. Those keep the birds clean, but doesn't solve the bee issue. Orange halves are another approach, but again not bee proof, not a bee trap either.Very expensive are meal worms, also very popular with many birds.

I put grape jelly in the oriole feeder. Not only did the orioles feed from it, ALL the little birds came to feed there, too. There were also some honeybees that came to eat but I found 4 or 5 dead bees in the jelly; knowing about the shortage of bees, I felt so badly that I put the oriole feeder away for a day or so. Any suggestions? Thanks so much. Valerie Hammond
