Nectar productivity of Salvia sclarea flowers as a honey resource for Apis mellifera in Crimea
... insufficiently studied. The present study aims to address this research gap. Nectar production in flowers located in different parts of the plant, as well as the effect of individual plant variability, was assessed using a well-established nectar extraction method based on glass microcapillaries. The results demonstrated that flowers in the upper part of the plant accumulated a statistically significantly greater volume of nectar, while the contribution of individual plant variability accounted for 8.9 % of the total variation....
