Mechanical waves
Insects use electromagnetic waves, specifically ultraviolet (UV) light, to locate nectar sources. Many flowers have ultraviolet patterns that guide insects to their nectar, as insects can see in the UV spectrum.

The sweet liquid that attracts insects to a flower is called nectar. There are several different insects that feed on a flowers nectar including bees.
Bees utilize polarized light waves and olfactory cues to locate nectar. They are sensitive to ultraviolet light, which helps them detect patterns on flowers that are invisible to the human eye. Additionally, bees can perceive scent molecules released by flowers, guiding them to nectar sources effectively. This combination of visual and olfactory information enables bees to efficiently forage for food.

they can get nectar
Some insects use ultraviolet waves to find nectar. The ultraviolet light leaves marks on flowers, and the insects can sense them and find the nearby nectar.
The sugar solution in plants that attract insects is nectar. Nectar is produced by plants in glands called nectaries, either within the flowers or by extra floral nectaries. Nectar is the sugar source for honey.
