I have hummers every year, I can get ants and bees away from the feeders, but I have the black and white bald face hornets, they are really nasty! I have tried smaller holes and moving the feeders, but I just can't get rid of them and the hummers are afraid of them big time, any suggestions?

I use the paper wasp nest that scares them, they are afraid of a huge nest so they stay away, just hang up on a near by spot. also you can blow air into a paper bag and tie the end and hang it, works also.
I take a brown paper bag and put Walmart bags inside to make a big ball twist the bag and hang it up.with in a day or so their gone.
I hung up those paper wasp nest and they did not deter the black and white hornets at all.
Fill a brown plastic grocery bag with waste plastic until it is firmly filled. Hang it near the feeders but not so that they are easily seen by humans because its not attractive.
I put Avon's Skin So Soft around the little indentations that hold jelly for the orioles. The big black and white bees give up in about 3 days. They need to stand on the feeder and don't like the oil.
I have the exact same problem. Bald faced hornets have taken over my feeders. They chase the hummers away. I have no idea how to get rid of them. I can't find their nest.
I use my shop vac on all but the bees. Did this twice and they did not come back
