Sunflowers are known to produce a significant amount of nectar, attracting various pollinators like bees and butterflies. On average, a sunflower can produce about 0.5 to 1 milliliter of nectar per flower, depending on factors such as plant health, environmental conditions, and the specific sunflower variety. The nectar is typically most abundant during the peak blooming period, providing a valuable food source for pollinators.
To the best of my knowledge, N. A. orioles basically eat insects, fruit and nectar. But you could put an oriole feeder, (for nectar), near the seeds and see.
There are several important things that come from sunflowers: oxygen, nectar (food for many animals), and seeds (food for many animals).
Several butterfly species would qualify as such; the most important among them is the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus).
A sunflower can grow about 4.5 in. in two weeks.
YES! They have a lot of nectar, because the "head" of a sunflower is made up of 4,000 tiny flowers.
In 50g of sunflower seeds there are 292 calories. There are 10.5g of protein in this amount of sunflower seeds, and 25.5g of fat.
You can get sunflower oil from WalMart for less than $12 for a gallon.
The Agave Nectar Gallon has to weight 5KG. or 11 pounds.
Sunflower kernels (the edible part inside the hull) are about 23% protein.
