Who feeds Hummingbirds?

I use a 3 water to 1 sugar ratio...Boil the water while sanitazing the bottles then add sugar to the pot, put the lid let it cool while rinceing the bottles.
No coloring, the base "flowers" are red, that's enough.

Change the nectar once a week, any longer and I get this black mold stuff everywhere.
We have anna's most often. They will set up a teratory and have "dogfights" often. I separate mine by about 15 feet to minimise the fighting.

I have oriols from time to time try to get the good stuff.
 
Awhile back I posted about the hummers not showing up this year. We had only two show up around their usual time, April. Yesterday we counted 20 hummers total around the two feeders.

I use 1 cup of sugar to four cups of water. They're not complaining.
Red wasps are trying to eat at the feeders too, which irritates me. We actually saw a wasp chasing the hummers yesterday. The hummers are too fast and nimble for em.
