In southern Ohio we start putting ours out mid-April so I'll guess early April for you.
Don't get discouraged if you don't see any. The primary reason to put it out early is to feed the ones migrating north

continuously 4:a million, 4 section water, a million section sugar. this is the recipe for synthetic nectar (syrup): Use one section individual-friendly white cane sugar to 4 factors water. that's no longer had to boil the water. The microorganisms that reason fermentation do no longer come from the water; they are transported to the feeder on hummingbird costs. shop unused syrup interior the refrigerator for as plenty as 2 weeks. this mixture approximates the classic sucrose content textile textile (approximately 21%) of the plant existence many times happening via employing North American hummingbirds, without being so candy it attracts too many bugs. Please, do no longer located honey, Jell-O, brown sugar, fruit, or crimson nutrition coloring on your feeder! Honey ferments spectacular now on a similar time as diluted with water and ought to kill hummingbirds. the end results of crimson dye have not been no longer scientifically examined, and that's no longer had to shade the water to entice birds on your feeder. further, there are unverified comments that crimson dye would reason tumors in hummingbirds; this would or ought to no longer be genuine, yet why take the risk?

Patio plants are best attractant for humming birds in southern Indiana. I dont use feeders, they come by the zillions around here. They feed on Geraniums, petunias, and the like, which are potted and high up particularly on like a column or bench height and seem to avoid ground plants due to i presume danger of a predator attacking them. I dont see many until early or mid June.
