Hummingbirds back yet??
Comments (13)Believe it or not, my husband was camping out in College Fjord outside of Whittier, Alaska, earlier this week. There was snow all over, basically no food coming up for the bears yet, ice dangerously thick in the fjord still...but he saw 2 hummingbirds. I don't know what they'll find to eat right now....See Morehoney for hummingbirds
Comments (7)Why You Should NEVER Use Honey: A honey water solution served up in hummingbird feeders can quickly become toxic and deadly. Honey rapidly ferments and also cultures a deadly bacterium. Contrary to popular belief, honey is not "more natural" than the cane sugar that is sold as white sugar. Honey has been chemically altered by honey bees: it is flower nectar and whatever ever else the honey bee ingested, digested, and spit back out again. Honey is nothing like the sucrose found in flower nectar and white sugar. This is taken directly from the Garden Web FAQ on Hummingbirds.

Comments (6)sounds wonderful! You could be the next Mrs Fields! I bet crushed walnuts or sunflower seeds would be good in those cookies. I wonder how many scrumptious recipes are the result of accidents. One Christmas, my mother, the worst cook in the universe, made brownies. They were heavenly. rich, dark, buttery chocolatey melt-in-your-mouth velvety. just heavenly. When my sister-in-law asked her for the secret, my mother said, "I just used the recipe on the back of the baking chocolate package.... but it said to use half the squares in the package, & when I was breaking the chocolate, it all fell apart, so I said 'D@mn@t!on!' & threw the whole mess in there." I've remembered that all these years, & whenever I get the impulse to bake, I always think, "double the chocolate!"...See MoreHummingbird gard
Comments (1)Are your glass feeders red? If not, the color change may have thrown them off. I would try a red feeder. With lots of hummers around, it shouldn't take them more than three days to find the feeders. The other thing I would try is increasing the sugar content in the solution from 4:1 to 3 or even 2:1. Hummers do prefer the stronger solutions, and that might be enough to get them started. Good luck....See Morepractigal
