The honey is fermented easily, and can cause mouth sores hummingbirds. Artificial sweeteners have no nutritional value. DO NOT use red dye in the solution, as this could be bad for your hummingbirds. No proof has been done on the effects of the dye has on birds. Most feeders have red on them and should be sufficient. Good luck!
