The first 2 ingredients are Sucrose and Dextrose which are sweetners. Is it too early to put that out for the birds??? Its been horribly windy lately.

Hummingbird nectar is nothing more than 1 part table sugar dissolved in 4 parts tap water. You can quickly mix it up yourself. No other dyes or other ingredients are necessary and might in fact be harmful to Hummers. I don't think the hummers are in your area yet. They are approximately at the Tennessee/Kentucky border right now.
