"I like making small batches of hummingbird food so I stay in the habit of cleaning the feeder regularly...but this recipe easily doubles or triples and the extra can be stored in the refrigerator."

Great way to make small batches of sugar-nectar for small feeders! Perfect for Northerners in Spring who want to put small feeders out early and are not sure quite when their little guests will be arriving. Much less waste than filling and putting out a large feeder early in the season while awaiting their arrival. Thanks for posting such a helpful recipe!
