Symbiosis! When both bee and flower benefit.
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.
An example of mutualism is the relationship between the yucca plant and the yucca moth. The yucca moth pollinates the yucca plant while laying its eggs inside the plant's flowers. In return, the yucca plant provides a place for the moth to lay its eggs and ensures the propagation of its species through pollination.
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.
