Amber Grove.

The tube lipped nectar bat. A pool of delicious nectar

And setting Amber ablaze?

These are nectar spurs.

Just look at that Amber.

Hey, any word on Amber?

I told Buffy about Amber.

It does not eat nectar.

It does not eat nectar.

Oh, beautiful, for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, so I made this amber waves image.

I need to get the skinny on Amber.

So here is some nectar from my film.

A fly caught in amber, or a leather bottle.

We have three colors in here, red, amber, and green.

I mean, what if Amber isn't causing these problems herself?

The bee flew to the flower and drank the nectar.

And here is the long probosced fly that has not gotten any nectar from the mimic, because the mimic doesn't give it any nectar.

And when it takes the nectar, the flowers don't feel shortchanged.

I'm going to get the nectar and I'm going to leave.

Transcending time, the insects of ages gone past dance livelily in amber.

If the light is amber, then the traffic should prepare to stop.

Someone is re engineering dinosaurs by extracting their DNA from prehistoric amber.

They drink this fabulous nectar and then they're all a bit sticky.

And they're also collecting nectar and that's what makes the honey that we eat.

And they're also collecting nectar, and that's what makes the honey that we eat.

They might say, I've got a bit of nectar. Do you want to come and get it?

What the honey bee does it pollinates, takes nectar from the flower, pollinates another flower, cross pollinates.

Maybe something's happened and I was busy reading the AMBER Alert, then trying to find the license plate...

They get paid by pollen and nectar, to move that male sperm, the pollen, from flower to flower.

And basically what the insect has to do we're in the middle of the flower it has to stick its little proboscis right into the middle of that and all the way down that nectar tube to get to the nectar.

The effect of this, of course, is it's not just amber waves of grain, it is mountains of stuff.

I get my money, get back in the car, get on the freeway toward the airport, and I pass the AMBER Alert.

like in the case of orchids that promise sex and nectar and give in change nothing for the transportation of the pollen.

This fossilised tree sap, which we call amber, waited for millions of years with the mosquito inside until Jurassic Park scientists came along.

About 2 miles past the AMBER Alert there's a sign that tells me that 39 people been killed on that specific stretch of highway.

There's a symbiotic relationship there, whether it's flies or birds or bees, they're getting something in return, and that something in return is generally nectar.

This is a plant here that insects in South Africa just love, and they've evolved with a long proboscis to get the nectar at the bottom.

And the bee has been cleverly fooled into taking the nectar, and also picking up some powder on its leg, and going off to the next blossom.

And if it had pointed to the orange or the amber, it basically meant you had to have, sort of, more continuous care from the health care worker.

Mosquitoes actually live ... their day to day nutrition comes from nectar, from flowers in fact, in the lab, we feed ours raisins but the female needs the blood meal.

Now, being good programmers, we always assume that something goes wrong if the light is neither red nor amber nor green, which in principle shouldn't happen, which due to some bug could happen.

Because the DNA of the dinosaur that was trapped in the amber gave us some kind of clue that these tiny things could be trapped and be made to seem precious, rather than looking like nuts.

Now you can imagine that if nectar is such a valuable thing and expensive for the plant to produce and it attracts lots of pollinators, then, just as in human sex, people might start to deceive.

This orchid, known as Darwin's orchid, because it's one that he studied and made a wonderful prediction when he saw it you can see that there's a very long nectar tube that descends down from the orchid.

And if you look a little bit closer at this stigma and the stamen here, this is the style of that flower and you notice that it's got this little jelly like things that are called spurs, these are nectar spurs.
