Hummers usually nest in deciduous trees or shrubs. I would think if there was a nest she wouldn't be hovering near it. She'd be more likely to get to and away from it rather quickly so as not to give up its location to a predator. They do eat alot of insects.(75% of their diet) There could be teeny insects in the fir she's eating.
If you cn look in the branches where you think a nest might be, look for a teeny nest that will look more like a little nub of moss than anything.Heres some pics. http://images.google.com/images?q=hummingbird+nest&hl=en

The Hummer nests I've seen are TINY, about the size of half a golf ball. They are made of moss and lichen and lined with spider web. The nests are usually near the end of a branch and made in a fork of the branch

im also seeing a lot of larger birds nests pushed out of the tree and laying on the ground
around this same tree. i guess it could be squirrels knocking em down. ive seen three so far and im not seeing the nests where i did last year.
