花蜜, 甜液
a sweet, liquid substance produced by flowers and used by insects as a source of energy
Nectar is a sugary fluid produced by flowering plants, primarily to attract pollinators such as insects, birds, and bats. It is usually found within specialized structures called nectaries, located either within the flowers themselves or on other parts of the plant. Nectar provides a valuable energy source for pollinators, who consume it as they visit flowers in search of food. In return, pollinators unintentionally transfer pollen between flowers, facilitating the process of pollination and subsequent fertilization. Nectar composition can vary among plant species but generally consists of water, sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose, and small amounts of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
