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.

What does a nectary do in a flower?
A nectary is a specialized structure in a flower that produces nectar, a sugary fluid. The main function of a nectary is to attract pollinators like insects and birds, which help in the process of pollination by transferring pollen from one flower to another.
Why does neither male or female flowers produce much nectar at night?
Neither male nor female flowers produce much nectar at night primarily because their primary pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, are typically inactive during this time. Nectar production is often synchronized with the activity patterns of these pollinators, which are usually diurnal. Additionally, producing nectar at night could lead to waste, as it would not attract the intended pollinators effectively. This adaptation helps optimize energy use for the plant while ensuring successful pollination.
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.
What flowers that produce much pollen are pollinated?
Flowers that produce much pollen are typically pollinated by insects such as bees, butterflies, and flies. These insects visit the flowers to collect pollen as a food source and inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, aiding in the pollination process.
How much is 13500 nectar points worth?
£67.50, as each 500 points gives you £2.50
Does a butterfly flit from flower to flower?
Yeah, pretty much. Exept it flies not flits.
Are buterflies adapted to lapping up nectar?
Yes, butterflies have evolved a long, specialized proboscis to help them efficiently lap up nectar from flowers. This adaptation allows them to reach deep into the flower to access the sugary liquid they need for energy.
What is a butterflies feeding method?
Butterflies typically feed by sipping nectar from flowers through a long, straw-like tube called a proboscis. They insert the proboscis into the flower to access the nectar, which serves as their main source of food and energy. Some butterflies also feed on other sources like rotting fruits, tree sap, and minerals found in mud.
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.
Do butterflies drink sink water?
Butterflies consume flower nectar, and occasionally supplemental water (and sodium from salt, even from human sweat). But their wings are so light and delicate that they will not function if wet (as when they first emerge from the pupal stage). Fortunately, most wing tissue sheds liquids such as rain.
What is the purpose of the specialized cells that produce strong odors from corpse flower?
Corpse flowers are pollinated by flies. The smell that is generated is used to attract the flies for pollination; much as nectar in other plants is used to attract bees and butterflies
How much food can a butterfly consume in a given time?
Adult butterflies have no mouths. They drink nectar and water through their proboscis.

How much sugar for 1 cup of agave nectar?
There is 2/3 of a cup agave used for every cup sugar
What do butterflies get eaten by?
You should always have a supply of fresh nectar available for a butterfly. Keeping fresh flowers in the container will let the butterfly feed whenever it is hungry. Also make sure there is fresh water for it.
How does a butterfly eat?
Butterflies feed in the early morning and late afternoon. However, they also need a certain amount of warmth in order to be able to fly, so in cooler climates, they wait until later in the day to do their feeding.
