Why only white cane sugar — not honey or brown sugarFill & Hang
Pour into a clean feeder and hang in a shaded or partially shaded spot.
Hummingbirds typically discover a new feeder within a few days.

Hummingbird Feeder Care Guide
How to Keep Your Hummingbird Feeder Clean & Safe
A clean feeder filled with fresh, dye-free nectar is the single most important thing you can do for hummingbird health. These simple habits make all the difference.
Change Nectar Every 3–5 Days
Fresh nectar keeps hummingbirds healthy. In hot weather, change it every 2–3 days to prevent fermentation.
How to tell if nectar has gone badClean Feeders Thoroughly
Rinse with hot water each time you refill. Use a bottle brush to reach all crevices — avoid soap when possible.
Can you use dish soap?Watch the Temperature
Nectar spoils faster above 80°F. Move feeders to shade during peak heat and consider a second feeder to rotate.
Spotting mold before it spreadsSkip the Red Dye
NectarBloom™ is dye-free by design. Hummingbirds are attracted to the feeder's color, not the liquid — clear nectar is the safest choice.
Why red dye is harmfulPlace Feeders Thoughtfully
Partial shade extends nectar freshness. Hang feeders where you can see them from inside — half the joy is watching.
