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.
I don't know how much sugar is in a flower for the butterflies

not much apart from produce nectar
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.
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.

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.

Yes, butterflies are adapted to lapping up nectar. The butterfly uses its tongue to drink the nectar from flowers much like humans use straws.
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.
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

Adult butterflies have no mouths. They drink nectar and water through their proboscis.
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.
There is 2/3 of a cup agave used for every cup sugar
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.
A butterfly uses their tongues when feeding. Their tongues act much the same way as a straw and they use their tongues to suck nectar from flowers.
The main component of nectar is liquid sugar and most insects are attracted to the sweet smell and taste of it. Certainly honey bees are not attracted to flowers which have a nice smell but don't produce much nectar.
For every 2 cups of water, I'll add one teaspoon of sugar.
