| I bring this up because of the rising cost of sugar around here. In the past I have mainly used premium pure cane sugar, main brand around here is domino and C n H.
Does anyone feel it makes a difference between cane sugar and beet sugar. Can you tell a difference in which your hummers prefer? To me the cane does seem to be a tad sweeter. But Im just not sure if it makes a difference. |

| I read somewhere that regular bagged sugar is fine, that you don't need special sugar of any kind. I'm not sure about beet sugar... honestly I use the store brand sugar regular granulated sugar and the hummingbirds (and bees) don't seem to mind . I wish the bees minded actually =) |

| I recently did some research on this topic. Here are my findings: Droll Yankees recommends using Domino Pure Cane Sugar (not beet sugar) which ensures there are no preservatives or additives. In an email to Cornell Lab of Ornithology I asked: "What about beet sugar vs cane sugar?" |
