  1. The honeybees that fertilize the palm tree flowers have a tendency to sting the coconuts. Over time the fluid builds up.


  2. The water is the liquid endosperm of the coconut.  So you're correct that it is related to fertilization.  The endosperm is what provides nutrition for the developing seed.  It's because it's high in nutrition that people drink this.  

    As the fruit matures, the coconut water is absorbed by the rest of the fruit.

  3. It is palm sap.

  4. water in the coconut comes from its tree which absorbs it through the soil
