Nectar
Nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants in glands called nectaries, either within the flowers with which it attracts pollinating animals, or by extrafloral nectaries, which provide a nutrient source to animal mutualists, which in turn provide antiherbivore protection. Common nectar-consuming pollinators include bees, butterflies and moths, hummingbirds, and bats. Nectar plays an important role in the foraging economics and overall evolution of nectar-eating species; for example, nectar and its properties are responsible for the differential evolution of the African honey bee, A. m. scutellata and the western honey bee.
Nectar is an ecologically important item, the sugar source for honey. It is also useful in agriculture and horticulture because the adult stages of some predatory insects feed on nectar. For example, the social wasp species Apoica flavissima relies on nectar as a primary food source. In turn, these wasps then hunt agricultural pest insects as food for their young. For example, thread-waisted wasps (genus Ammophila) are known for hunting caterpillars that are destructive to crops.

Looks Like We Made It
by: NektariosHere we are together,
when tomorrow comes,
we will still be here,
I'm back and feel it,
when I walk with you,
my feet don't touch the ground,
it's all that matthers,
that anywhere you go I will be there,
I will be there.
Chorus:
Feels like our world has just begun,
now after all it's said and done,
looks like we made it,
we're still here together baby,
you're still the one I kiss goodnight,
you'll always be my guardian light,
looks like we made it,
we're still here together baby,
looks like we made it,
looks like we made it,
you and I,
you and I,
the people say we're crazy,
that we never make it half the way,
but look as us together,
stronger than we were in yesterday,
and I believe it,
that you will be the one, come bring us shine,
you will be mine,
Chorus:
Feels like our world has just begun,

you'll always be my guardian light,
looks like we made it,
we're still here together baby,
looks like we made it,

looks like we made it you and I
hey,oh you and I
