The bees are looking for nectar. The pollen sticks to their feet and bodies, dropping off as they travel from flower to flower. If you do not want this to happen, cover the plant with fine mesh and that will keep them away. Or, cut off the flowers. If it is a fruit tree, particularly citrus, the plant will not fruit.
