algurka: what I’ve read is that you should not sweeten the water with honey, that it will kill them. (!) Standard granular sugar only. Of course, it’s far better to have a lot of the kind of flowers they like.
We preferred the flowers and bees and hummingbirds rather than the expense of Farm and Home-type hummingbird water. Now, about the bats and mosquitoes……

Cute, but seriously, do NOT give hummingbirds artificially sweetened foods. It’s very bad for them.

I often wondered what mosquitoes ate before I came along.

I read where there was a crazy woman that put artificial sweetener in a hummingbird feeder. The poor things starved to death.
