xD I Dont Know
Insect pollinated plants produce nectar to attract insect for pollination. The nectar is produced in the nectary glands present at the base of stamens and gynoecium and when the insect approaches the nectary gland, the pollen grains get stuck on its body and when this pollen loaded insect visit another flower of the same species, pollen grains from his body are off loaded on the stigma this flower. Thus pollination by insect is achieved and the insect is benefited by the nectar from that plant.

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).
Is a hibiscus an insect pollinated flower or a wind pollinated flower?
Hibiscus is actually pollinated by hummingbirds! Red flowers always most likely are because birds can see red better than insects (they're better at the blue and purple part of the spectrum). Also, the pollen is far away from the nectar. If a hummingbird puts its tongue into the flower, the pollen will be deposited on its back. An insect would never touch the pollen when crawling into the flower to the nectar. ^^
