Ideal For
Perfect for gardeners who want both functional bird feeding and decorative appeal in their outdoor spaces. Ideal for areas with high bee activity due to the naturally bee-resistant design. Excellent for creating feeding stations by connecting multiple units together. Suitable for all North American hummingbird species and particularly beneficial during migration when hummingbird populations surge. Great for beginners due to easy-to-clean design and simple operation.
Feeding Instructions
Mix nectar using 1 part white granulated sugar to 4 parts water - never use honey, brown sugar, artificial sweeteners, or red food coloring. Fill ant moat with water to create protective barrier. Clean and refill nectar every 2-4 days depending on temperature and hummingbird activity. In temperatures above 85°F, change nectar every 1-2 days to prevent fermentation.
Position feeder in partial shade to extend nectar freshness. Place near flowering plants to attract initial attention, then hummingbirds will return regularly. During peak migration (spring and fall), check daily and consider connecting multiple feeders to accommodate increased traffic. Remove all components for thorough weekly cleaning with hot soapy water.
