What's Actually in Most Store-Bought Hummingbird Nectar?
Most commercial hummingbird nectars contain some combination of:
- •Red Dye #40 — a petroleum-derived synthetic dye with no nutritional value and documented health concerns in wildlife. Read the full red dye guide →
- •Artificial preservatives — to extend shelf life, not to benefit the bird. How to tell if nectar has gone bad →
- •Fructose or corn syrup — cheaper than sucrose but harder for hummingbirds to digest efficiently. Why only cane sugar →
- •Unnecessary additives — vitamins, minerals, and "extras" that sound helpful but aren't needed in a nectar that mirrors what flowers provide naturally. See the 4:1 recipe →
Hummingbirds evolved over millions of years drinking one thing: sucrose dissolved in water. That's flower nectar. That's all they need.

What Experts Say About Red Dye in Hummingbird Nectar
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the National Audubon Society, and wildlife rehabilitators consistently recommend against using artificially colored nectar. Their position is straightforward: hummingbirds don't need it, there is no proven benefit, and there is enough concern about potential harm that the precautionary choice is clear — leave the dye out.
NectarBloom™ follows published feeding guidance. These institutions do not approve or endorse the product. Read our full article on red dye and hummingbirds →
The Simple Standard
Real flower nectar is one part sucrose to four parts water. That's the formula hummingbirds have relied on for millions of years. NectarBloom™ matches that standard exactly — nothing more, nothing less.
When you fill your feeder with NectarBloom™, you're giving your hummingbirds the cleanest, simplest, most natural nectar available. No compromises.
Why It Costs More
You can make hummingbird nectar at home, and we support anyone who does it safely. NectarBloom™ is a nectar mix you measure, stir until clear, and pour.
We're not trying to be the cheapest nectar. We're trying to be the most trusted.
