How can you use “nectar” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Now add a few bees to this community of birds, sufficiently few that their intake of nectar is negligible.
In fact, there is even no need to perform experimental bird removals, because plants provide us with a ready-made design: bees visit flowers searching for both nectar and pollen, while most birds exploit only the nectar.
Plants face a trade-off between attracting pollinators and remaining hidden from flower parasites (such as nectar robbers and seed predators).
The traditional explanation for this association is that, since red is inconspicuous to bees, it evolved to prevent bees from depleting the nectar of bird-pollinated flowers without effecting pollination.
The expected intake rate is the average amount of nectar obtained per flower (or standing crop) divided by the time it takes to find and exploit a flower.
