Transfer of pollen from flower to flower or within flowers is the way that honeybees pollinate flowers. The insects in question (Apis spp) seek floral nectars. Pollen will brush and catch on the baskets of honeybee legs for delivery back to the hive or nest and on honeybee bristles for transport to the female parts of flowers.
