It is a mutual relationship. The flower needs the hummingbird to drink nectar and get a dusting with the flower's pollen, so ensuring there is cross-pollination as the bird moves from flower to flower.
mutualism
Symbiosis! When both bee and flower benefit.
In biology, mutualism is the relationship between two species where each individual benefits. A common example of mutualism is the relationship between a bee and a flower. The flower relies on the bee for pollination, while the bee uses the flower's nectar to make food.
Yes. Some types of humming birds eat caterpillars.
Hummingbird feeders are red because many hummingbird-pollinated flowers are red. Hummingbirds see red very well but most insects do not, so red flower color is an adaptation to attract hummingbirds as pollinators and reduce competition with insects.

First of all, bees are attracted to flowers because of the pollen, scent, and bright color. They pollinate the flowers, opening an opportunity for the flower to reproduce.

When the hummingbird flies from flower to flower some pollen falls on its head and wings. The hummingbirds gets its nectar and the flower is pollinated. It is a win/win. Hummingbirds play an important role in the pollination of flowers.
With he flowers they get the nectar from. The pollen off the flower gets on the hummingbird's wings and beck. By going from flower to flower, it's just helping the flower pollinate. The hummingbird gets helped also since it gets food from the flower.
