Hummingbirds
If you keep hummingbird feeders, know that in hot weather your hummingbird nectar can go rancid in just 2-3 days. Rinse and refill your feeders with 1 part sugar to 4 parts water at least twice per week.
Clean hummingbird feeders monthly to remove stains and mold. You can use a diluted bleach solution.

Butterflies
Monarch butterflies are passing through on their annual migration from Mexico and need places Milkweed to lay their eggs. Help them out by planting milkweed in your garden.
Plant small pollinator gardens in containers to welcome butterflies to your deck or patio. You can find ideas for pollinator container combinations in our blog.
