What is the symbiotic relationship between a flower and a bee?

For food, a butterfly collects the pollen from a flower. When the butterfly lands on the flower to take the pollen, small particles of pollen remain attached to the butterfly. The butterfly then moves to another flower, the pollen from the first flower goes into the second flower, pollinating the second flower, allowing genetic diversity among flowers, and causing reproduction. Also, when the butterfly lands on the flower, the particles fly to the wind, so that other flowers can also be pollinated when the polen is carried by the wind.
