Abstract

An alternative way to use small filter paper strips as wicks for tiny flowers to collect floral nectar. This method is easily handling and gives a picture from the nectar sugar production during the day and during the flowering season under natural conditions. Disadvantageous of this way it cannot be used to measure the total nectar quantity but more closely the flower visitors’ tongue in picking up nectar.
