The only problem with having a hummingbird feeder is, once those hummers know it's there, they get really hungry! Keep them satiated with this nectar. Dissolving instantly in water, the 8 ounces of powder make 48 ounces of nectar in the classic red color. Keep those hungry hummers well fed--because no one likes to see an angry hummingbird. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

For Hummingbirds: boil, on stove or microwave, 4 C water, 1 cup sugar.
Sugar water is all your hummers need. Do not waste your money on this product.
No dyes! No instant nectars! July 23, 2006

As a field biologist involved in hummingbird studies in the SW, I can say that red--or any other color--dye is nonsense! NOT needed, quite likely harmful. Also, I question the instant nectar--instructions say it doesn't require boiling. Is there a preservative in it that retards yeast and bacterial growth? If so it would likely be extremely harmful to the gut of the hummers: it could harm their natural internal flora.
RED DYE WILL HARM HUMMINGBIRDS - DO NOT USE IT June 11, 2006

THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT STATE WHAT THEY USE FOR THE RED COLORING IN
THEIR NECTAR. IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT RED DYE #40 HAS PROVED
HARMFUL TO HUMMINGBIRDS CAUSING CANCER AND IS NOT NECESSARY.
NATURAL NECTAR IN THE WILD IS CLEAR WITHOUT COLOR. USING A COLORFUL
FEEDER WILL ATTRACT THE HUMMERS AND NOT HARM THEM.

You won't find a single expert on hummingbirds who recommends "instant nectar" products such as this one. Why? Because 1) they're a complete waste of your money and 2) they expose the birds to ridiculously high concentrations of inadequately tested chemicals. The cheapest and easiest feeder solution also happens to be the closest in chemical composition to natural flower nectar: a solution of 3 or 4 parts water to one part ordinary white sugar. If you want the sugar to dissolve faster, get additive-free superfine baking sugar. DON'T use honey, food coloring, Kool-Aid, Jello, or any other junk - the birds drink nectar just for the energy and get everything else their bodies need from eating insects.
