I have seen studies on how much honey a bee can produce in a lifetime. However I have not seen anything on studies of different nectar producing blooms to see what there actual output of nectar is in there life time. I know there is a lot of factors that will change nectar per flow from year to year. But was just wondering if there was any such studies on nectar production

I know that UGA did some energetics studies. As part of those they sampled a large number of blueberry blooms and arrived at an average available nectar per bloom.
