Gather 1 part white granulated sugar and 4 parts water. Boil water, add sugar, stir until dissolved. Let cool.
Change the hummingbird food every 2-3 days, more frequently in hot weather to prevent fermentation.
Fill clean hummingbird feeder with the sugar water mixture. Hang the feeder in a shaded area.
Clean the feeder with hot water and a bottle brush each time you refill it to prevent mold growth.
Avoid using red food coloring in hummingbird food as it may be harmful to the birds.
Enjoy watching hummingbirds visit your feeder! Remember to keep it clean and filled with fresh nectar.
