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.
Basically the bee is doing the pollinating for the flower. They both benefit and need each other.
if the bee receives pollen or nectar both sides benefit but that is not always the case.

Yes, the flower benefits when the bee collects pollen from it because the pollen is transferred to other flowers during the bee's pollination process, helping with fertilization and reproduction. This allows the flower to produce seeds and fruit for the next generation.
It collects the nectar and pollen (pollinating the flower).

This relationship is an example of mutualism, where both the bee and the flower benefit from the interaction. The bee receives nectar as a food source, while the flower gets pollinated by the bee, aiding in its reproduction.
A bee is like a tiny flying gem, sparkling in the sunlight as it dances from flower to flower. Its buzzing is reminiscent of a miniature engine, humming tirelessly to gather nectar. Just as a painter brings color to a canvas, a bee brings life to the garden, pollinating plants and ensuring their growth.
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.
Jasmine plants are generally self-pollinating, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs within the same flower and can fertilize themselves without the need for cross-pollination from another plant.
