Cathy and Marv in Baja sent this great shot of their hummingbird feeder covered with bees
Trivia: Hummingbird Nectar Mixture
The proper nectar mixture for hummingbirds is 1 (one) part white table sugar to 4 (four) parts water. Pour 4 cups of water into a pan and bring to a boil (boiling helps slow bacterial growth). Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of white table sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Allow the sugar solution to cool before filling your feeder. Extra nectar should be stored in your refrigerator.
