Artificial Hummingbird Nectar Recipe

Hummingbird Nectar is easy to make at home. First bring water to a boil. Once the water has boiled for a while put it into a measuring cup. Begin with four parts water then add one part ordinary white cane sugar. Stir the sugar into the hot boiling water thoroughly to make sure that all of the sugar is desloved into the water. When done stiring allow nectar to cool. Unused nectar can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. This mixture approximates the average sucrose content (about 12%) of the flowers favored by North American Hummingbirds.

Once your hummingbird nectar is cooled add it to your hummingbird feeder.
