Q: HOW LONG DOES HOMEMADE HUMMINGBIRD FOOD LAST?
A:  As a general rule, the hotter the weather, the quicker the nectar will ferment and spoil. How long your nectar stays fresh depends on both the weather, the humidity, and if your hummingbird feeder hangs in the shade or sun.

Below are some general guidelines to how long your nectar will last, but it’s impossible to predict because of the variables. No matter what, I wouldn’t let your nectar sit for more than a week outside, even if it is cool and in the shade. If the nectar starts looking cloudy or has anything gross floating around, it’s spoiled, and it’s time to change and clean your feeder!
Cool weather or in the shade: 4-7 days
Hot weather or in the sun: 2-3 days
Extra nectar kept in the refrigerator: up to 2 weeks
