Q. Do I have to boil the water I'm making my hummingbird nectar with?
A. No, all you need is for your water to be hot enough to dissolve the simple table sugar you're mixing in.
Remember, table sugar ONLY, in a ratio of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water.
And no red dye - your hummingbird feeder is colorful enough to attract them, and once they find that your feeder is a good source of quality nectar, they'll keep coming back!
