Seed production is the way that flower benefits from being pollinated by bees. The male parts, known as stamens, of flowering plants produce grains called pollen. Seed production requires the pollen to be deposited in the female parts known as pistils, and bees will effectuate that transfer by carrying off and dropping grains as they sip nectar.

The benefit to the plant is that it is fertilized and can produce the seeds and fruit. Without pollination there would be no next generation of plant.

What is the relationship of bee and a 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.


How are flowers benefited by bees landed on them?

The benefit to the flower is that when a bee takes pollen and Pollenates another flower, the flower has succsesfuly passed on its genetic material. The benefit is a evolutionary one. It gets to procreate.


How do organisms pollinate?

Let us consider the bee, which is the most famous, and the most useful pollinating organism. The bee comes to a flower in order to drink the nectar and eat the pollen, but the bee is also covered with hair (the bee hair consists of extrusions of chitin, it is not the same as mamallian hair) and lots of pollen sticks to it. When the bee then visits other flowers, it brings with it the pollen that it picked up at an earlier flower. If some of that pollen gets into the right place on the new flower (the right place being the pistil) then it will pollinate the flower.
