Yep, they are after the tiny gnats and flies that come to feed and lay eggs.
As one Hummer expert put it, "Hummingbirds are nectar fueled insect eating machines."
I do this from time to time. I like bananas but my wife and one of our sons feel like they are starving to death if we don't have any in the house.
What I don't like is removing the gloppy remains of the older peels. And in out very hot summers the peel dehydrates in less than a day.

There is a hummingbird feeder on Amazon which has slits on the sides. Put fruit or bananas inside and hang the feeder up. The hummers long bill and tongue fit through the slits and they chow down, then head to the nectar feeder for a drink before heading back to the "slit" feeder. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTXF3FX/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_7?smid=A27BUQSY3E84IP&psc=1
