[birdky] (Birdky) Hummingbird nectar recipe

Can someone give me the recipe for hummingbird nectar? I'm remembering:

1/2c sugar to 1c water, bring to a boil, then take off heat and let cool, store in closed jar in refrigerator.

I need to know if that's correct? also how often to change it out and how long it keeps.

Thanks.
