Twenty-five, 32 and 40 milligrams are the numbers that tend to be given for the weight of the nectar load that one bee collects at one time. That converts respectively to 0.00088, 0.0012, and 0.0014 ounces per load per bee per day. Researchers often take the middle figure in the above-mentioned calculations.

Does a cut flower last longer in pure water or sugar water?
Yes because it is nutrition for the flower. Florists offer food with sugar and other things to help them last longer. Sugar water does not work for regular plants though. It will clog their roots and stop as much water being absorbed.
Honey bees collect?
The worker bees go out to collect pollen and nectar which they bring back to the Hive for food and to make honey. Honey bees eat honey and pollen as their primary food, but they also gather liquids and juices from plant and fruit exudates. When honey bees come across insects that secrete honeydew, they gather the liquid and store it as honey. When pollen, nectar, or honeydew aren't available, honey bees can collect and store plant spores and dusty animal feed as well.

Will sugar help flower grow?
Answer: There are many folk-cures and hear-say remedies for growing plants, many if not most will end in weakening if not killing the plant, the best recourse is to know the plant, know what type of soil it likes, and what kind of nutrients it requires, (well balanced nutrient filled diet) the simple course of action would be: Plain water, Air, Sunlight [full/partial/defused] and a mild form of fertilizer, keeping in mind not to over water or under water. Sugar will work a whole lot better then those grocery store flower food packets. In 3 days with the packets the flowers are all worn out. With sugar they are full and vibrant.

Is coconut palm sugar made from sap or nectar?
Coconut Palm Sugar is produced from the flower nectar of coconut palms. Nectar harvesters climb into the canopy of the palm tree and use a section of twine (or grass cord) to tie together the palm's infloresences (flowers). These bunched infloresences are then bruised or gently sliced to produce a wound. This wound "bleeds" the nectar. Producers however must climb twice daily into the canopy to manage the wound so that it does not heal over. The process of keeping a coconut flower "flowing" is truly an art; much harder than one would imagine. The nectar collected is then evaporated down into a caramel sugar and can then be further handground into a crystalline texture.
