The study was conducted to quantify the nectar secretion dynamics, and honey production capacity of Hygrophila auriculata and Salvia leucantha. One day before nectar collection, a group of flowers was enclosed with mesh bags to measure accumulated nectar volume. Moreover, nectar volume, concentration, temperature, and humidity were measured at intervals of 3 hours. The collected data was analysed using One-way ANOVA and linear regression. Nectar secretion dynamics of the two species were significantly varied (at p |
