Same recipe as reccomended by the audobon society. Hummers will still eat bugs for protein. https://www.audubon.org/news/how-make-hummingbird-nectar. They note the reasons that it is important to use white sugar. I steeped the hot sugar water in beet skins for about 10 minutes. It turned a pretty ruby color. I will have to wait and see how the hummers like it.
