• 1 cup white refined sugar
• 4 cups water

4. Fill the bird feeder with the mixture.
5. Store extra food in a Mason jar in the refrigerator.

Tips:

• Use white sugar to make this solution as honey can promote dangerous fungal growth. Also, don’t use organic, raw, or natural sugars as their iron levels can be detrimental to hummingbirds. 
• Do not use red dye.
• In hot weather, empty and clean your feeder twice a week.
