I'm thinking about getting a hummingbird feeder. How often should I replace the fluid?

During this time of the year until mid or late fall, the weather where I live gets extreme humidity and high temperatures (high 70s - high 80s and maybe low 90s).

It came to my attention that nectar spoils. How quickly will nectar spoil from these temperatures?

I'm thinking about using this product (feel free to recommend a product that's better for hummingbirds that's not really expensive):

I've never seen anyone replace hummingbird food ever.

@DeadCowboy: They eat it so fast here.

@SweetMae: An old family friend (who sadly moved) had tons of bird feeders scattered around her house. One of those bird feeders was a hummingbird feeder, and I vaguely remember seeing hummingbirds every once in a while whenever my parents took my siblings and I to visit her. It's a shame I didn't enjoy the moments of seeing them as much as I would have liked now (I was extremely young, so what did I know?).

@BlackBloodDemon: I would try feeding them. The same birds tend to come back every summer here.

@SweetMae: What do you mean by feeding them? Like personally feed them, or with the bird feeder?

@BlackBloodDemon: With the feeder.
