Can I use brown sugar in a hummingbird feeder?

My wife and daughters outlawed white sugar at home. I used it mainly when preparing the liquid for a hummingbird feeder. I won’t use artificial sugar for the birds, but how is brown sugar for hummingbirds?

I wouldn’t do it because molasses isn’t normally found in a humming bird’s natural diet. Brown sugar is normally just white sugar with molasses added to it, at least mine is.

no… not something that can be used…. the birds wouldn’t go near it…. but the ants would…..if they outlawed white sugar, you’ll have to go buy the nectar mix for hummingbird feeders…..
