Do you make humming bird feed from scratch??? I've always bought the pre-made stuff. How do you get the ratio right for them?

@KingFeeder yes. I cup of sugar. 4 cups of water. Bring to boil.

@KingFeeder I was curious about his also and read online that raw or unprocessed sugar can actually harm them, so regular white sugar it is....
