Think of a plant that has bees as its one type of pollinator. The pollen would be taken long distances to other plants of the species and good genetic recombination would ensue from this. Also, a plant spread out like this would have many different micro environments to flourish in and the variations of this plant could do better in one of these environments. The obvious disadvantage would be if your pollinator succumbed to some disease or other local natural disaster.
