One thing to note is not to keep your feeders out too long in the season as it could damage your feeders.

I live in Massachusetts so I put my feeders out May 1! I noticed that’s when we see the first sign of hummingbirds around the homestead. I revised this recipe 8/26/21 to reflect these changes. I like this basic granulated white sugar, I use it in my hummingbird feeders and also in my beehives!ĭo NOT add additives to your feed, it should be sugar and water only.
