Usage Examples of "Nectars"
Nectarial refers to something that produces nectar, a sweet, viscous fluid secreted by plants to attract pollinators such as bees, wasps, and butterflies. In botany, nectarial glands are specialized structures that produce nectar, often located at the base of flowers, fruits, or leaves.
Nectariniidae is a family of small, sunbird-like birds in the order Passeriformes, commonly known as sunbirds or flowerpeckers. They are found in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. The word derives from the Latin "nectar", meaning "honey", and refers to the birds' fondness for nectar-rich flowers. The family includes around 130 species, which are characterized by their bright plumage, long beaks, and rapid, darting flight.
