Boil the mixture til the sugar fully dissolves and then let cool completely. Put in feeders and enjoy.

In cooler weather change your nectar every 4-5 days. If it is hot out, every one to two days.

Be sure to clean feeder with every change to ensure things stay clean and your hummingbirds don’t get sick.

Note: Hang feeders out at least a week before the hummingbirds are due to come back to your area. Use red feeders and if your feeder doesn’t have red on it you can always tie a red ribbon near it. And be sure to plant lots of flowers!
