Not sure where you live PapaMark but I have read the following in regards to bats and humming bird feeders
Bats
In some parts of the American Southwest near the Mexican border, bats like hummingbird feeders, too. These gentle mammals are voracious nectar lovers, but they are also vital pollinators of saguaros, other giant cacti, and the large agaves.Bats can empty your feeders overnight, every night. If this is a problem for you, use a feeder with bee guards. Taking feeders in overnight will keep the bats away, but remember that hummers start feeding as early as 45 minutes before sunrise, and they really need the energy after a cool night.
