Talking about the main bottle, not nectar/flower holes. I bought a pack of mas ara testing brushes for those little holes, works great!
For the small holes, I buy those dental brushes that go between your teeth (like GUM Proxabrushes). They work great and I get them on sale at the drugstore. The main part of my feeders is open and flat (I use Hummzingers only). So easy to clean.
What in the heck is going on? I wonder if they had a rough winter in their winter habitat.
Either that, or one of my neighbors has better grub.
I also use hummzinger feeders. The gravity fed ones would always leak when the temp rose, which brought in a massive amount of bees, that the hummers had to constantly fight off. Yeah they (hummzingers) are a little pricey, but they do carry a lifetime warranty, and are very easy to clean.

I have had my hummzingers for at least 7 years and they still look great and work fine. I just clean them thoroughly after the season and put them away until next year (I clean them each time I fill them, too, of course). With this sudden hot weather, I am replacing the nectar every day. Still only seeing males.

Off topic, but.
Have you noticed an over abundance of fledged robins this year? I'm talking many!
