We just hung the feeders and they came in. If the weather is hot you'll need to change the water about every other day.
We don't use red food coloring, we read that it was harmful to them.
Sometimes we don't even color the water, it doesn't have to be; mostly we do it do we can see easily when the water is getting low.
And of course, looks better in pictures, :) Once you get them feeding they will return next year.
We know when they're back in the spring because they come up and hover in front of our kitchen window. They are so funny!
