Steps to Make Hummingbird Nectar: 1. Mix Water and Sugar: Combine 1 cup of water with 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar.
Dissolve Sugar: Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. You can heat the water slightly to help dissolve the sugar more quickly, but let it cool before filling the feeder.
Cool the Mixture: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before pouring it into the hummingbird feeder.
Fill the Feeder: Fill your clean hummingbird feeder with the nectar and hang it in an appropriate location.
By following this recipe, you'll provide a nectar solution that closely mimics the natural nectar found in flowers, offering a safe and attractive food source for hummingbirds.
