Pollination!
Often through bees or birds or insects. They get the nectar from the flower, but the flower sticks its pollen on them as a result, and when they go to the next flower, they transport it. It's a mutualistic relationship.
The nectar attracts bees (or other insects) who collect it and bring it back to the hive. Pollen rubs on the bees boddy, and it effectivly carries it to another flower where the pollen will fertilise it.
There is a symbiotic relationship between a crab spider and a flower. The crab spider carry pollen grains to the other flowers when gathering nectar on these flowers.

The flowers have no nectar, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.
Pollen and nectar.
The thing that attracts an insect to a flower is the nectar inside the flower.
Mutualism - both species benefit from their relationship. The bee comes to the flower to collect nectar as food, and brushes against the anthers of the flower, which are covered in pollen. The bee moves to another flower to collect nectar and rubs the pollen off on the second flower's stigma, fertilizing the flower. Thus, the bee receives a source of food from the flowers, and the flowers are pollinated by the bee.
It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.
The nectar is provided by the plant in the flower as 'bait'. This bait attracts animals to the flower to feed on the nectar and as thy do so they get coated with pollen and transfer this pollen form flower to flower as they feed depositing the pollen on to stigmas of the flowers the pistils. The nectar is therefore key to the plants sexual reproduction.
Bees want the nectar to make honey. The bees move pollen from flower to flower while they gather the nectar.

They collect both pollen and nectar. The nectar gives them carbohydrate (sugar) and the pollen gives them protein.
