Editorial Review:
The 8-Ounce Perky-Pet Instant Nectar makes 48 ounces of original nectar for hummingbirds. It comes in a dry mix, so all you have to do is add ordinary tap water--no boiling required. This nectar will keep hummingbirds swarming around your feeder, and the convenient mixing means that you'll have more time to watch them. Perky-Pet Products is dedicated to giving you the very highest quality and performance, so you can be sure their products and accessories are dependable.
Specially developed to match the natural nectar of fruit and flowers, Perky Pet's Instant nectar is a high-energy sugar compound especially for hummingbirds. The simulated natural flower nectar has no artificial sweeteners. Instant nectar is a simple and convenient way to make nectar--just open and add water. The 8-ounce box makes 48 ounces (1-1/2 quarts) of liquid.

May be harming the hummingbirds: 
Feeding them sugar and water may be insufficient. One manufacturer of nectar says that such food does not contain the vitamins, minerals and liquid organic compounds necessary for hummingbird diets. Good intentions and enjoyment derived from feeding the simple nectar may be shortening the life-span of the birds.
If anyone knows more about this, please post a review, thanks. Tgrnry
Overpriced sugar, don't bother:
This product is colored sugar and is overpriced. Just mix 1 part white sugar and 4 parts water, boil for a few minutes. It costs 10 times less and is healthier for the birds. THEY DO NOT need red color in their nectar. I have six feeders on my yard and I attract dozens of birds with just sugar water.
Worthless.:
I have 5 hummingbird feeders around my home, three on the back deck. In one feeder I put homemade sugar solution, in the other 2 I used the Instant Nectar. The only thing the Nectar attracted was ants. The hummingbirds consumed the sugar solution readily, so much so I had to refill the containers multiple times over the season, and left the Nectar untouched.Well, to be fair not only ants enjoyed the Nectar. There were some wasps which seemed to be drawn to it, too.
Bottom line: unless you are aiming at...

waste of money:
i love the perky pet feeders, they're my faves, but the nectar is a waste. i can mix 25% sugar to 75% water and get a cheaper, easier mix, without additives. do it yourself--cheaper and better for the birds.
