They mostly don´t intend to do so, but visit a flower for the nectar and pick up pollen unintentionally. The plant, of course, does intend this. As the animal visits another flower, the pollen on its body will drop off and fertilize the female parts of the second flower so it can bear fruit.

Honey bees collect?

The worker bees go out to collect pollen and nectar which they bring back to the Hive for food and to make honey. Honey bees eat honey and pollen as their primary food, but they also gather liquids and juices from plant and fruit exudates. When honey bees come across insects that secrete honeydew, they gather the liquid and store it as honey. When pollen, nectar, or honeydew aren't available, honey bees can collect and store plant spores and dusty animal feed as well.
