Topic: Nut Nectar


  
  The Robert Alden Ellsworth Trust
The nectar serves as a source of nutrition to male and female bees alike.
Nectar, which is produced at the apex of the coil, is sought after by bees with long proboscises which then transfer the pollen that has been deposited on their heads and backs to the stigmas of the next flowers visited.

 BeeSource.com | POV | Joe Traynor
Nectar is the fuel that propels the insects from flower to flower - the gasoline that carries the insect to the grocery (pollen) store.
The varieties that produced the least amount of nectar (and pollen) set the highest percentage of blossoms; and varieties that produced the most nectar set the least, in spite of the fact that bee activity was significantly greater on the high nectar producing varieties.
Excessive nectar collection by honeybees during a period of high nectar secretion could deplete carbohydrate reserves of almond trees to the point where final nut retention was affected.

 Department of Agriculture, Western Australia : Bee pollination benefits for nut crops
Nectar production: Flowers are rich in nectar but nectar volume, concentration and total sugar can be significantly different between different cultivars.
For nectar collected soon after anthesis, there were significant differences in volume, concentration and total sugar of nectar from the genetic materials CC2 (1.10± 0.02 µL; 19.85± 0.35%; 0.232± 0.003 mg), CCP 09 (0.94± 0.03 µL; 14.01± 0.33%; 0.134± 0.002 mg) and CC1 (0.31± 0.18 µL; 19.70± 0.55%; 0.060± 0.002 mg) respectively.
It is concluded that there is a significant variability in volume, concentration and sugar content of nectar secreted by flowers of cashew trees of distinct genetic constitution and that these parameters, the initial nectar volume of anthesis and patterns of evaporation and/or reabsorption of nectar, determine the nectar volume available for collection.
