	Nectar source - Food & Drink - Recipes24 Net - recipes, cooking, cookbooks and more
		The nectar source in a given area depends on the type of vegetation present and the length of their bloom period.
		The classification in major or minor nectar source is very dependent on the agricultural use of the land.
		Agricultural crops like canola and alfalfa may be a major or minor source depending on local plantings.

	Nectar (plant) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nectar, in botany, is a sugar-rich liquid produced by the flowers of plants in order to attract pollinating animals.
		Nectar that is produced outside the flower is generally produced to attract predatory insects.
		Nectar is economically important as it is the sugar source for honey.

	CAP Article: Pollen Contents of Honey
		They concluded that the ability of a bee to filter nectar in her honey stomach is one way of removing unwanted debris from nectar, such as pollen and fungal spores, which might germinate and spoil future honey made from the gathered nectar.
		Because flower nectar sources are usually close to the dehiscing anthers of those same flowers, some of the anther pollen falls into the nectar that is later gathered by honeybees.
		For example, as early as the 1920s scientists knew that the longer nectar remains in a honeybee's honey stomach, the greater is the potential for that honeybee to remove most or all of the pollen in that nectar, regardless of the pollen type (Whitcomb and Wilson 1929).

	Nectar source - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nectar source plants are important for beekeeping, as well as in agriculture and horticulture.
		In gardens, nectar sources are often provided to attract butterflies and hummingbirds as well.
		Insects such as predatory wasps, hoverflies and lacewings feed on nectar as adults, while their larval forms are predatory and feed on garden pests.

	Biology - Bee Behavior
		Certain nectar and pollen plants, such as alfalfa, the clovers, and sweet clover, are grown widely for agricultural purposes and they are wild to some extent.
		Nectar secretion or production is affected by such environmental factors as soil type, soil condition, altitude, latitude, length of day, light conditions, and weather.
		Nectar is secreted by an area of special cells in the flowers called a nectary.

		It blooms May to April and is a prime nectar source in Florida; the resultant honey is often in demand because of its light color and resistance to granulation.
		It usually produces little nectar, but in good years is considered undesirable because the nectar and pollen are responsible for a condition known as "purple brood," which kills the brood, turning it a rich purple color.

		It is highly symbolic, separated as it is in both time and space from the activity it grew out of (discovering a nectar source) and the activity it will spur on (getting other bees to go to that nectar source).
		When a worker discovers a good source of nectar or pollen (note the pollen spores dusting this bee's back), she will return to the hive to perform a waggle dance to let her nest mates know where it lies.
		Perhaps most astonishingly, she indicates the direction of the source by the angle her waggle walk deviates from an imaginary straight line drawn from the dance floor to the sun at its current position.

	Distributive Control Models for Honeybee Decision Making During Foraging
		Moreover, the most profitable source of nectar was not only visited by more foraging bees, but it was visited at a higher rate of returning bees than the less profitable source.
		These measures are the assessment of the profitability of the nectar source and the nutritional status of the colony as a whole.
		From assessment of the profitability of a nectar source, to the understanding of the nutritional status of the hive and the following actions on the dance floor, all the research shows that each individual is acting only as an individual.

	Nectar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Nectar is the sweet fluid that many dicotyledenous plants use to attract insect pollinators.
		The various types of nectars can be ordered into three groups according to sugar content: sucrose prevalent, glucose and fructose prevalent, and equal amounts of sucrose, glucose, and fructose (4).
		Notable among these analyses of the composition of nectar is the lack of studies characterizing the presence of proteins in nectar.

	CHAPTER 4
		Flowers must not only produce large amounts of nectar but the nectar must be accessible and produced at the correct time of the year.
		The flowers of many temperate broad-leaved trees are excellent nectar producers and are capable of producing yields that equal or exceed certain herbaceous plants that are known to be good honey producers (Table 4.1).
		To gather the nectar to produce this unique speciality honey, bees are placed on bluffs or elevated platforms along the river’s edge during April and May. These river valleys are the only places in the world where tupelo honey is produced commercially.

	Beekeeping and sustainable livelihoods
		Nectar is a solution of sugars and other minor constituents that bees collect and concentrate into honey.
		Honeys contain a wide range of sugars, varying according to the nectar source, and small amounts of other substances such as minerals, vitamins, proteins and amino acids.
		It is carried to the nest and stored quite separately from nectar, but a few pollen grains inevitably find their way into nectar and eventually into the honey.

	Nectar - Wild India
		nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by the flowers of plants in order to attract pollinating animals.
		Nectar from flowering trees and plants is the principal raw ingredient of honey.
		It is usually located at the base of the flower, forcing pollinators to brush against the flower's reproductive structures to reach it.

		In turn, pollen feeds baby bees and nectar is turned into honey to be enjoyed by the bees and you, the beekeeper.
		While many kinds of trees and shrubs are bees' prime source of pollen and nectar, a wide range of flowers contributes to bee development and a bumper crop of honey.
		Bee balm is a good source of nectar for bees as well as butterflies and hummingbirds.

		Because honey bees tend to work the same nectar source until it is depleted, the gradual return of foragers to the treated area could be due to a new set of foraging bees being recruited to the area or due to a loss of repellency as the product degraded.
		If indeed the foraging bees were returning to the hive with nectar or pollen contaminated with sub-lethal doses of synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, perhaps the lower colony temperature in winter was resulting in these doses becoming lethal due to the inverse relationship between the toxicity of synthetic pyrethrbid insecticides and temperature.
		In an analysis of variance by product, concentration was a significant source of variation at a 0.01 level for all insecticides, including fluvalinate, which was not significantly different from the control in an overall analysis.

		He suggested that the bees are delivering a complex set of instructions about how to find a rich nectar source.
		The direction the bees point while performing the dance, Professor von Frisch speculated, indicates the direction of the food source in relation to the Sun; while the intensity of the waggles indicate how far away it is.

		In southern Michigan the clover nectar flow normally lasts until the middle of July, at which time the nectar supply slackens (Martin, 1959).
		This success at training bees during a good nectar flow implies that it may be possible to train bees to visit feeding stations during most of the summer.
		Thus, keeping bees in the air for a longer period of time than is necessary for flight to the food source may act in resetting the bee's sensory mechanism.
