Windows Live® Search Results Nectar, sugary liquid built up in plant glands, called nectaries, situated at the base of the petals in flowers or in so-called extra-floral nectaries borne on petioles, spines, or other parts of the plant. Nectar is used as food by many insects that, in the course of nectar-gathering, carry pollen from flower to flower, thereby serving as fertilizing agents. Honey bees use nectar in making honey.
