Floral nectar is a sweet liquid produced by flowering plants, primarily to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It is secreted from specialized glands called nectaries, which can be found in various parts of the flower, including petals and stamens. The composition of nectar typically includes sugars, water, and small amounts of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Pollinators consume floral nectar as a food source, aiding in the process of pollination. As they move from flower to flower, they transfer pollen, facilitating the reproduction of plants. This mutualistic relationship benefits both the plants and the pollinators, contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem health.
