I stopped using those things, wasps and ants were getting in them. Besides they are a pain. Now I have plants that attract them, they have been visiting here for weeks now. I have the plants where I usually am and can easily see them. Right now the Coral Honeysuckle, Firecracker Plant and the Bottle Brush trees are where they are going.

If possible it's best to have as many flowers that hummers prefer. Some people don't have much room and feeders are very helpful for them.

I have lots of flowers and have two feeders in use. I use First Nature hummingbird feeders primarily because they are so easy to clean. Also, I've had Baltimore Orioles using them the last year. That was a real treat. I haven't seen an Oriole in a week or so; I suspect that they have migrated north.

I have four feeders. I wash two right after I replace them with the other two. I don't use bleach. It's very difficult to get all of it off. I use vinegar to kill the mold, but I don't need to use it very often.

I use a 3-to-one solution of water to sugar. I think that either 4-to-one or 3-to-one is good.

The hummingbird migration is ongoing. Those of us in Central and Northern Florida will see more and those of us in the South will probably see less.

Thanks for the information

Yes, thank you Bea for sharing your knowledge. And everyone else, too! Very helpful to hear everyone's experiences. I can add that in Arizona, I saw hummers constantly. While in SoFla, only saw 1 or 2 in many years. Currently adding more hummer and butterfly plants but also have a couple of feeders just in case
