When I make my 'nectar', I put 2 cups sugar into an 8 cup mixing pitcher and fill it up with water. I have 9 4 cup feeders out, and don't think I could 'afford' to make the mixture any stronger. :-)) I had 4, but each of them seemed to have a bully, so I bought some more and now the bullies have their feeder, and the more docile ones have thiers. This is a picture of 6 on the feeder *I think there were 2 more on the backside* and 3 in the air. The don't seem to mind the 4:1 mixture. I must have 50 hummers in my yard.
