Hummingbird Nectar
Making your own hummingbird nectar is incredibly easy, safer for hummingbirds to consume, and is much more cost efficient.

sugar

cups
water
Instructions
Add the water and sugar to a medium sauce pot over low heat. Continue stirring until all the sugar is dissolved.
1 cup sugar,
4 cups water
Once the sugar is dissolved, let the sugar water cool until it reaches room tempurature. Then pour into your hummingbird feeder.
Notes
Since hummingbird feeders are changed out 2-3 times per week, I recommend only filling up your feeder a quarter of the way full.
Your humming bird feeder should be cleaned 2-3 times per week.
You can store the left over hummingbird nectar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
