This is not always the case, but when it is it is because only one pistil will fertilize seeds. The pollen however, won't always make it to the pistil, so there needs to be more pollen produced.

They need to let the pollen spread so are therefore of higher importance, so have to be more easily accessed. They help attract bees also and that will lead to the pollination.
