How fast do blossoms manufacture nectar?
Asked by Jeruba (55831)

A moth or butterfly or other nectar-swilling insect visits a flower blossom, takes a sip, and then flits away.
A little later, along comes another one. Is the second insect out of luck? Is the well dry? How fast do flowers replenish their supply? Or was there more than enough for one imbiber in the first place?
