Hmmm, good question. We used to do that too. So to find out I just went out in the misty rain and sucked on the end of my coral honeysuckle ... :-) It has nectar! Just not nearly as much or as sweet as the old Japanese honeysuckle.

Are you still okay after trying the honeysuckle, Roselee? I'm a little concerned even though I'm happy to know coral honeysuckle makes nectar. ;0)

Hmmmm, seems like I had an inordinately high amount energy all day after sucking on those native red honeysuckles this morning. Maybe that's how hummingbirds are able to get across the gulf of Mexico on their migrations. Ya' think I might be on to something??? Otherwise, I'm fine ... ;-)

I think the other ones just don't have as much. I have a (aw shoot, I forgot its name) honeysuckle that I bought online and it doesn't have much if any syrup.
