In terms of what species of plant, the flowers are geared to be attractive to pollinators, often specific pollinators such as a bee - evolution took care of that a long time ago - flowers that were attractive to pollinators were always going to set more seed. As for flowers that still have nectar - they haven't already been visited and the nectar taken. If you watch a bee at work you will see that they can't detect that but most flowers will continue to produce nectar or they will wither once they have been visited and pollinated.

If you were thinking of pollen (yellow powder), that's taken back attached to the bee's legs and fed to the larvae. That's not an ingredient of honey.

Yes they do drink natural flower nectar, mainly from flowers that have co-evolved to provide them with the kind of sugar and amounts of nectar they prefer in exchange for pollination services. Hummingbird nectar flowers are usually red, orange, or bright pink, shaped like a tube or trumpet, and produce nectar that is weaker then that of insect-pollinated flowers and contains a high proportion of sucrose (the same as white table sugar).
Hummingbirds drink nectar from flowers. As they pass from flower to flower the hummingbirds carry pollen aiding in pollination. What kind of relationship exists between the hummingbirds and the flower?
mutualism
Can hummingbirds have birdseed?

What does a humingbird eat?
They feed on nectar from flowers (and hummingbird feeders)
What are a butterfly's favorite foods?

Bats that drink nectar at night seek flowers by their smell. Then they hover at the flowers, and use their tongues to lick up nectar.
What is a hummingbirds main diet?

What is is the hummingbirds diet?
Hummingbirds drink mostly sugar water from feeders. They also drink nectar fro wild flowers. They also need other protein and nutrients. They get these from eating small insects.
