Humming Bird Nectar
The Humming Birds are back and ready to eat.
You can make your own nectar much cheaper than it can be purchased.
Humming Bird Nectar
- Boil 1 cup of water.
- Stir 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar into the 1 cup of heated water.
- Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Cool, fill your hummingbird feeder, and serve!
- Any leftover nectar can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
Oh good to know, my mother in law just gave me a humming bird feeder last week for on my new deck
Hi Dawn. I am catching up with everyone. Blogger is not updating my friends posts. Grrrr. Love your WIWW shots. So fresh and pretty. I make literally, gallons of nectar. I feed the hummers, and orioles. I use a red plastic cup, my biggest pot, scoop my sugar, and always do 4 to 1. I cup sugar to 4 cups water. Store in outside fridge! LOVE the birdies!!
Don’t you just love hummingbirds? They are so much fun to watch. I have my laptop set up by a window and right outside is a hummingbird feeder. I love it when they come to visit. Have a wonderful weekend!
We have the same feeder; and you got a shot of one on the feeder, I was never fast enough!
Have a great weekend!

I also have the same feeder…and I make the nectar all summer long. I have never boiled the water though. I always heat it in the microwave!! It is time to get those feeders out…
Jeanie my hummers are back two weeks early this year so mine is out for them. I use the microwave too when I’m in a hurry.
