We have found it easier to clean hummingbird feeders with glass nectar jars - be sure to change nectar weekly, more often in real hot weather. Also, you may want your feeder to have 'bee guards' as they will compete with the hummers. |

Easy nectar: 1 part sugar to 4 parts water - no dyes needed. Example - to make 2 cups of nectar heat 1 cup water (you can use really hot tap water) and dissolve 1/2 cup sugar; stir until all sugar is dissolved (this is very important). Mix sugar water with remaining cup of water - let sit until room temperature. Fill feeder and you are good to go. |
