Insects visit the flowers to drink the liquid nectar the flower produces. In so doing, the insects brush against the pollen and carry some away on their bodies. When they visit the next flower, the pollen rubs off on to the stigma, when fertilization takes place.

Why does bees have pockets?

Bees don't have pockets but on their back legs there is a depressed area called the corbicula - the common name is pollen basket. As the bee flies back from the flower, she combs the pollen off of herself and packs it into the pollen basket on her back legs. When she arrives at the hive, she has two neat little packets of pollen on each of her back legs and is back to looking like a normal bee rather than one who has taken a bath in pollen!

It is a rich protein source.
