Abstract
The % of sugar conc. of nectar taken from the honey stomachs of honeybees caught on the blossoms of certain southern honey-plants was detd. by use of a refractometer. Wide ranges in the sugar content of the nectar from the same plant spp. are common. Nectar samples should be obtained at intervals during a plant''s blossoming period if representative average readings are to be obtained.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
