Ingredients: You will need white granulated sugar and water. Do not use honey, artificial sweeteners
Ratio: The ideal ratio for hummingbird nectar is 4 parts water to 1 part sugar (e.g., 1 cup of water to 1/4 cup of sugar
Boiling Water: Start by bringing the water to a boil to help dissolve the sugar completely. Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Cooling: Allow the nectar to cool to room temperature before filling your feeder. This prevents any potential damage to the feeder or harm to hummingbirds from hot liquid.
Storage: If you have leftover nectar, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Make sure to label
Cleaning: Regularly clean your feeder every 3-5 days, or more often in hot weather, to prevent mold and bacteria growth
Refilling: Refill your feeder with fresh nectar, even if it hasn't been fully consumed, to ensure it remains safe and nutritious for hummingbirds.
