Someone in southern AZ has trouble with bees drinking from hummingbird feeders and dissuading the hummers from drinking until the bees leave?

Is there any way to dissuade the bees from drinking, while not endangering the hummingbirds?

Update:

Daniel g:  Might be useful but impossible in this particular situation. Cinnamon and oil of peppermint have been effective. Thanks, anyway.

    Put bee feeders on the sunny side of the house and bird feeders on the shady side.

    Doesn't stop them but helps a lot.
