Attracting Hummingbird Tips

Place hummingbird feeder where you can easily see it. To make homemade nectar: Make a simple syrup with a ration of 3:1, water to sugar. Only fill the feeder up with enough for 1-2 days, otherwise over longer periods of time the warm weather can allow bacteria to grow. Every several days rinse and wash the feeder and check for mold. Once the hummingbirds know they have a reliable nectar source they will keep returning!

Bees and Native Pollinators

Species of Bees play a vital role in our food production, by moving pollen from one flower to another, allowing for many plants to produce seeds. In agriculture, bees and other pollinators are responsible for the pollination of many different fruits we eat, as well as the seed production of our vegetables. Help protect our bees and other native pollinators!
