Q: When is the best time to put out a hummingbird feeder?
A: According to an article posted by Jim Armstrong and H. Lee Stribling on the Alabama Cooperative Extension System website, hummingbirds are easily attracted to feeders in the spring, usually beginning in April or early May.
“Many types of feeders are commercially available, and most work well,” according to the article. “A feeder that has a bee guard works best because it keeps bees from using the feeder. If too many bees are attracted to the feeder, hummingbirds will not use it.”“For the homemade solution, mix 1 part table sugar to 4 to 5 parts warm water,” the article says. “The warm water makes the sugar dissolve faster. Allow the solution to cool before filling the feeder.
