I’m sorry that I don’t have any really good ideas about how to keep them away. You might try making sure it’s all clean in case the nectar mix spilled onto the outside of the feeder. What I wouldn’t do is use any kind of insecticide, because it could very well harm those delicate little hummers. Beyond that, I have no clue, but wish you luck.

At a very famous place in Patagonia,Arizona, where the family invites birders into their backyard to watch all of the hummingbirds, I saw the homeowner use an unexpected product to keep bees/wasps away from her many feeders. A couple of times per day, she sprayed the feeders with Garlic Flavored Pam. It does not harm the hummers and the bees HATE it. Hope that helps.

Most pet stores and stores that sell hummingbird feeders also sell bee guards like the ones on this website: http://www.arcatapet.com/item.cfm?cat=709
They are designed to make it impossible for the bees/wasps to reach the nectar, but still allow the hummingbirds to access it.
