Hummingbird Nectar Mixture

Hummingbird Nectar Mixture
The proper nectar mixture for hummingbirds is 1 (one) part white table sugar to 4 (four) parts water. The nectar recipe is engraved on the underside of the cover of every HummZinger feeder.

Pour 4 cups of water into a pan and bring to a boil (boiling helps slow bacterial growth). Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of white table sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Allow the sugar solution to cool before filling your HummZinger. Extra nectar should be stored in your refrigerator.

Do not use a sweeter mixture - this will harm the hummingbirds.
Do not substitute honey for sugar as it will promote fungal growth.
Do not add any dye or coloring to the mixture, it is not necessary.
