The pollen baskets on a honey bee are specifically for pollen. The bee collects nectar with its tongue and stores it in a sac within its body to transport it back to the hive.

How bees happens and functions of the flower parts?

Bees are attracted to flowers primarily for their nectar and pollen, which serve as food sources. The flower consists of several parts: the petals attract pollinators with their color and scent, the sepals protect the flower bud, the stamens produce pollen (male part), and the pistil houses the ovary (female part) where fertilization occurs. As bees collect nectar and pollen, they inadvertently transfer pollen from the anthers of one flower to the stigma of another, facilitating cross-pollination, which is crucial for plant reproduction. This symbiotic relationship benefits both bees, which obtain food, and flowers, which can reproduce more effectively.
