Often I have seen our various grevillias have a good shake out of the 
florets, and no bees, and no juice in the hives, in other words a nectar 
dearth.  The bees may or may have not been working the grevilias for 
pollen.  Similarly we occasionally get a honey flow off our black bean, 
but it almost always has a good amount of nectar in the large flowers, 
but is not worked.  Both nectar's taste sweet to me.
