I think you mean why bees attracted to plants and well even that isn't exactly true. Most bees get their food aka honey and stuffs from flowers so maybe that's why you see them near plants.

Bumblebees are not only the producers of honey but they are also responsible for the pollination of numerous different plants. They hover over plants to find access to pollen.
