I've always used 4:1 as well. And my fiance's grandma suggests 4:1.

Subject: [birdky] question about feeding hummers

In the Outdoors Notebook column in the CJ today,  state bird biologist Kate 
Heyden suggested a 3:1 water/sugar ratio for feeding hummers. We have always 
read that 4:1 was the appropriate ratio and have used it quite successfully.

Is 3:1 better?
