Term:
Nectar guide
Nectar guide
Definition:
Markings on a flower that apparently serve to guide pollinators to the nectar. Some are visible to humans, but others are apparent to humans only through ultraviolet photography. Same as honey guide, a term not recommended because bees, not plants, produce honey.
