The secretion of the systemic insecticides dimethoate and phorate into nectar [PDF]
SUMMARYIn pot experiments, root applications of dimethoate and phorate were made to plants of fuchsia, nasturtium and bean. Twenty‐five mg dimethoate applied to a 5‐in pot made nectar from fuchsia and nasturtium and nectaries of beans toxic to bees and Drosophila melanogaster.

To determine whether visits by wild pollinators correspond well with the physiological patterns of animal-pollinated crops, we investigated the diurnal dynamics of nectar secretion in the male and female flowers of cultivated kabocha squash Cucurbita ...

I HAVE briefly described in vol. xv. of the Linnaean Society's Journal, the nectar-glands found at the base of the fronds of the brake fern (Pteris aquilina) which are visited by ants for the sake of their sweet secretion. This case seemed to me to show in a striking manner that extra-floral nectar-glands are not necessarily protective in function ...

Nectar secretion of Callistemon citrinus (Curtis) Skeels, Myrtaceae: Potential for honey production
The honey production capacity of bee flora is used to estimate the optimum colony carrying capacity of given area that helps to harvest the best honey yield.

Floral nectar contains mainly sugars as well as smaller amounts of amino acids and further compounds. The nectar composition varies between different plant species and it is related to the pollination type of the plant. In addition to this, other factors

Nectar production in species of the Genus galanthus L. (Amaryllidaceae) from Serbia [PDF]
As a contribution to the study of the melliferous flora of Serbia, nectar production in two species of the genus Galanthus L. (G. nivalis L., and G. elwesii Hook.) was investigated.

On the mechanisms of nectar secretion: revisited [PDF]
Models of nectar formation and exudation in multilayered nectaries with modified stomata or permeable cuticle are evaluated. In the current symplasmic model the pre-nectar moves from terminal phloem through the symplasm into the apoplasm (cell walls and intercellular spaces) with nectar formation by either granulocrine or eccrine secretion and its ...
