Hi everyone

I am wondering about the relation betwen weather and polen/nectar
production/secretion by the plants. Let for a moment suposse we have no
humidity problems, and lets concentrate only in temperature. Is the
nectar production
of a plant directly related to temperature? Would the same applies to polen
production by the same plant?

I rise the question based on the observation of the hives during this season.
I see certain plants that are in full bloom and visited by the bees, I can see
the bees full of polen. Then I check in the hives next by and the same
pollens are packed in the cells, but those hives are lacking nectar.
Temperature had been under 20ºC.
