Greg: Yes, the cotton plants grown commercially in the U.S. for fiber have multiple nectaries and are often good nectar producers and often not. There are three nectaries below the sepals, three above the sepals (below the petals) and they also secrete nectar at the base of the bloom which the are able to access in late evening when the bloom turns from white to pink and shrinks. Problem: Researchers at the land grant universities have bred cotton varieties that produce less nectar for the obvious reason of wanting a less insect attractive plant. Since cotton does not economically benefit from entomophilic activity the nectar only serves to attract unwanted creatures. Still, some varieties of cotton remain prolific nectar producers. Cotton honey (in Texas) is water white and typically very low in moisture content due to the dryness of the season in which cotton blooms. I think CA cotton honey is ELA.
