nectar
Bees seek this
Nectar is the sweet liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinating insects and birds.
Bees collect nectar and transform it into honey.
By extension, nectar is any delicious drink: This lemonade is nectar.
In Greek mythology, nectar was the drink of the gods, paired with ambrosia as their food.
