I've put out feeders before, but generally they attract ants not hummingbirds. Do other people have this problem?

Also, how often do you have to change the sugar water? I'm only up on weekends. I put some up one week and by the next week it had gone bad. Bacteria or something seemed to be growing in the water, sometimes the ants managed to get inside and drown too.

We've had a few visit some flowers nearby, but never at the feeder.

Any suggestions?
