Bees incidentally collect pollen for pollenating plants when they are attracted to something about a flower (nectar, UV patterns, etc). When they fly from flower to flower, they are transferring gametes from flower to flower, a classic symbiotic relationship where both the bee and plants benefit.

This part I am not sure about:

The idea is that if a bee is more hairy, it pollinates more flowers. If more plants are pollinated, there will be more plants and flowers for future bees to obtain nectar from. Therefore a bee's fitness is increased by being more hairy and pollinating more flowers. Through natural selection and a whole lot of time they have gotten more hairy to pollinate more flowers and then have more nectar to eat.

Hope this helped!

How do bees fertilize flowers?

A bee flies from flower to flower, eating the sweet nectar. In doing so, it's hairy legs rub against the flowers anther, collecting pollen. The bee then flies to the next flower to eat some more nectar. The pollen falls off the hairy legs and onto the flowers stigma, from where it travels down to the ovary. Pollination then occurs. This is how bees fertilize flowers

Bees collect pollen on their hairy bodies as they move from flower to flower. The pollen sticks to their bodies and is then carried back to the hive in special pollen baskets on their hind legs. This pollen is used as food for the bees and to help pollinate other flowers.
