My humming birds are back. I'm happy, they give me lots of laughs, especially at dinner time. Their feeder is right outside my living room window.
One of the best pieces of advice we got from a friend was DON'T buy feed from the store, you can make it yourself! So I started googling and found the recipe below. I thought I'd share in case you didn't know either!
- Make sure your feeder is cleaned thoroughly before adding new solution.
- Boil 1 cup of water. *Caution!
- Stir 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar into the 1 cup of heated water.
- Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Cool, fill your hummingbird feeder, and serve!
- Any leftover nectar can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
Now if someone could just give me a recipe to keep the ants out of it!

Beautiful pictures.
We make our own hummingbird food as well.
I will take the recipe that feeds hummers but discourages ants.
They are beautiful creatures. I like when the patiently wait for you to return with new food.
