the solution, because microwaving causes a breakdown in the sugar molecule that Mike can change Klahr the nutriHORTICULTURE tional valCONCERNS ue. Cool the mixture and refrigerate. If you continue to have a problem with bees at the feeder, reduce the amount of sugar (or add more water) to create a 5-to-1 ratio. The birds will still use it, but bees probably will not. Do not add red dye. Some information suggests that red dye can actually harm the birds. Most commercial feeders have sufficient red to attract the birds. Never add honey to the mixture. It will create mold and fungal disease problems. Active feeders will be emptied in a hurry. If you do not get any activity at a feeder for several days, take the feeder down, empty the solution, and replace it with fresh

Question: What is the best recipe for making my own solution of hummingbird nectar, and how can I stop the bees from getting into my hummingbird feeder? Answer: Commercial hummingbird food mixes often cost more than homemade sugar-water solutions, and many of them also contain preservatives that might harm the birds. Here is how to make your own: Mix up a solution of about four parts water to one part sugar. This is the best ratio, because it is about the average amount of sucrose produced in typical flowers that attract hummingbirds. Do not make the solution any stronger, or it begins to attract butterflies and bees instead, since most flowers pollinated by butterflies and bees have an average nectar content of 42 percent. Boil the water and sugar for two minutes. Boiling it for this length of time slows fermentation, which is bad for the birds. Do not microwave

sugar water. Every week or so feeders, even active feeders, should be taken down and cleaned with a mild soap detergent, rinsed with bleach, and then rinsed thoroughly with water. There is great debate about when to take a hummingbird feeder down. Some people say the birds will not migrate if feed is still available, which is not true. You should leave your feeder up as long as the birds are coming to it. Migrant hummers normally show up by late July and will continue passing through until October or even later. While feeding is the best method of bringing the birds into your yard, you can also provide natural sources of nectar by planting certain flowers and shrubs, such as buckeyes, summersweet Clethra, rose mallow Hibiscus, Carolina silverbell, rhododendrons, weigela, trumpet creeper, passionflower, flowering tobacco, red Salvia, dianthus, zinnia, Mexican sunflower (Tithonia), snapdragon, Heuchera, copper or red iris, fire pinks, columbine, phlox, beardtongue, Monarda bee balm, obedient plant, cardinal flower, monkey flower, foxglove and gayfeather (blazingstar).
