What part of a flower contains nectar?

Answer 1

By looking at the data from various web sites and roughly interpretation their results it appears that a variety of flowers will secrete about 1-2 mgm of sugars per 8 hour day. The amount varies and increases as the flower is stimulated. If nectar contains about 6 - 8 % sugars then a flower will secrete some 40 mgm per 10 hour daylight day. Bees carry back to the hive some 30mgm of nectar each flight and has to visit some 400 flowers each flight hour to pick up a bagful of nectar to carry home.

Maybe someone can actually verify these summations, as it my guesstimates from the data I have seen published and observed and weighed in my bees to and from my hive.
