Which term describes the relationship between bees and flowering plants?

You might want to know, why do bees, butterflies, and wasps go to flowers? Is it the color? The smell? Or is it something else? Well all of these are partly right! Insects like flowers for these reasons... 1. Bees and Wasps and Butterflies drink the sweet juice there. Does anyone know what it is called? That is right! It is called nectar! The nectar is very sweet. Do you know what else eats nectar? Hummingbirds! The hummingbirds love the nectar. The bees also use the nectar to make honey. Do you like honey? It comes from bees and flowers. a. But, why do insects go to flowers? How many of you have seen all kinds of flowers! Can you tell me something about them? That is right they are colorful! Flowers come in many different shapes and sizes. The bright colors attract the insects to the flowers. If a bee likes one color better, then there are plenty of flowers for him to got to. While if Mr. Bee 2 likes a different color, he has plenty for him to go to. b. The other reason that insects go to flowers, besides for food and the color and shape is... That is right! The smell. Flowers smell so good! Have you ever smelled a rose? Some people dry flowers and put them in places so that they can smell them. Most flowers smell good. Well some of them anyway. Have you ever heard of the Corps flower? It stinks so bad! It smells like a dead animal! When the insects come, do they help the flower? Yes! The insects do help, by picking up pollen. Pollen is the yellow or orange powder that make us sneeze in the spring. Bees travel from flower to flower, collecting nectar (which is later converted to honey), and in the process they pick up pollen grains. The bee collects the pollen by rubbing against the anther. The pollen is collected on the hind legs, in dense hairs referred to as a pollen basket. As the bee flies from flower to flower, the pollen grains are transferred onto the stigma.This helps the flowers make seeds, and fruit trees make fruit.

As bees take nectar from a flower, pollen gets transferred from the stamen on to the bee's body.

Once a bee starts collecting nectar from a particular type of flower it will keep going to the same type of flower as long as it can, keeping the pollen to the same type of flower.
