Humming bird nectar

My mother always loved humming birds. To watch these beautiful little birds seem to stand still in mid air is an awesome feat to see. To keep them coming around you must provide them with a garden that they love, places they love to nest and / or a bit of sweet food.

To make your own humming bird food:

1. Mix 1 part sugar with 4 parts water and bring to a boil to kill any bacteria or mold present.
2. Cool and fill feeder.
3. Extra sugar water may be stored in a refrigerator.
