| Orchid bees with long tongues | | 2007-04-17 07:00:00 | | Eurek alertOrchid bees use their extraordinarily long tongues to drink nectar from the deep, tropical flowers only they can access. Researchers have long suspected that this kind of exclusive access came with a mechanical cost.
According to common sense and a classic law of fluid mechanics, it is just plain hard to suck thick, viscous nectars up through a long straw. Now, Brendan Borrell at the University of California, Berkeley has confirmed this prediction for the first time: orchid bees with long tongues suck up their nectars more slowly than bees with shorter tongues.... | | By: The Flower Expert - Flowers Encyclopedia | | |

The waning treasures some were worth as much as $500 were sent to the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx for rehabilitation, one of the few places in the country capable of that kind of care.
Now these wayward blooms have been nursed back to health and are on display as part of the fifth annual Orchid Show there.
