I ran out of byFormica Sunburst liquid feeder so I bought some clear pre-mixed hummingbird nectar from Lowes. Should I be diluting this when filling my feeders? If so, any suggestions on ratio?

i think its all personal preference on how viscous you want the liquid to be and how big your ants are
Colonies:
Founding:
Camponotus cf. Modoc
Camponotus cf. Herculeanus
Dream Ants:
Stenamma Diecki
Solenopsis Molesta
Manica Invidia
Camponotus Herculeanus
Lasius Latipes
Dorymyrmex Pyramicus
Tapinoma Sessile

I think it wouldn't hurt diluting it. Try just taking a tiny bit diluting it in a little water. Then give your ants a drop. And give them a drop with the non diluted stuff. See what they prefer.
Aphaenogaster cf. rudis
Tetramorium immigrans
Tapinoma sessile
Formica subsericea
Pheidole sp.
Camponotus nearcticus
