Nectar is produced by flowers to attract insects, bats or birds that will help to carry its pollen to other plants (and bring fresh pollen to it). If a plant is pollinated in the wind, then it doesn't need to spend the energy to make nectar.

Is a buttercup flower a wind or insect pollinated plant?
It's bright and showy, and even has little nectar ducts under its petals, so insect-pollinated. Wind-pollinated plants generally don't have flowers, or the flowers are very small and inconspicuous, like those of grass. Wind-pollinated plants also make far more pollen (try tapping a pine tree or reed in spring) because the wind does not take it directly to its destination, much of it will be lost. With insects there's a fair chance the little there is will reach another flower of the same species.
How does a flower make nectar?
Flowers secrete nectar near the ovary so that they are pollinated. Nectar is usually replenished in twenty minutes after a pollinator such as a bee or hummingbird visits. The sugar is actually made in the leaves created by photosynthesis.
Why does water mil foil have flowers that form above surface?

When a flower is pollinated by bees what is the benefit?
The bee fertilizes the flowers ovules so that it can make seeds and reproduce. In return the bee is given food - nectar and pollen.,
Bees Stop making honey?
Bees make honey from nectar gathered from flowers. If there are no nectar-bearing flowers available, then the bees can't make honey. Nor will there be any nectar to feed on, so they will feed on their stored honey.
How might having the anther atop a tall filament make it more likely plants will be pollinated?
The anther makes the pollen I think, but you might wanna check though.
How can you make nectar?

When do bees make honey?
Whenever they can collect nectar. This depends on the weather; air temperature; availability of nectar-bearing flowers and, indeed, whether those flowers have nectar (they won't, for instance, in a drought).
How do you make nectar to feed a wasp?
