Follow this easy hummingbird food recipe to make homemade hummingbird nectar without boiling, including the best kind of sugar to use, sugar water ratio and more.
05If you make extra, store any leftover hummingbird food in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
06Thoroughly clean and sanitize feeders at least weekly. Every 4 to 5 days is ideal, and more frequently in hot weather. Do not "top off" the feeder by adding more nectar before emptying it first. If the food becomes moldy, cloudy, or otherwise grimy, immediately take it down and clean out the feeder.
