Hummingbird Nectar Recipe
Instructions: Boil the Water: Bring the water to a boil. This helps to dissolve the sugar and remove any impurities.
Add Sugar: Stir in the sugar while the water is still hot, and continue to stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Cool the Mixture: Allow the sugar water to cool to room temperature before filling your hummingbird feeders.
Important Tips: Do Not Use Honey, Brown Sugar, or Artificial Sweeteners: These can be harmful to hummingbirds. Stick to plain white granulated sugar.
Avoid Red Food Coloring: It's unnecessary and can be harmful. Most feeders have red parts that attract hummingbirds.
Clean Feeders Regularly: To prevent mold and harmful bacteria, clean your feeders thoroughly with hot water and a brush every few days, more frequently in hot weather.
