When a bee collects nectar from a flower, it uses its proboscis (a long, tube-like tongue) to suck up the sugary liquid. The nectar is stored in a special organ called the crop, where it mixes with enzymes that help break down the sugars. The bee then carries the nectar back to the hive where it is deposited into honeycomb cells. Worker bees will fan their wings over the nectar to help evaporate excess moisture, eventually turning it into honey for long-term storage and food for the colony.

What are the advantage for a flower to have its nectar located inside the flower rather then the outside?
The whole purpose of a flower producing nectar is to attract bees to it - for the purpose of having the bees help spread the flowers pollen to other flowers of its type. The nectar therefore must be in such a location as to have the bee dusted with pollen and have the dusted bee come in contact with the stigma of the flower. Nectar on the outside would not accomplish these vital actions.
Why is this an example of mutualism?
no it is not because people on this that look it up have no idea what they are talking about. so stop reading this and getting answers cause they make you wrong there is no need for this page or website if it was me i would delete it.
What happens during pollination for flowers?
A bee is attracted to a flower from color, sweet nectar, etc... As the bee sucks up the nectar, pollen from the anther(s) gets stuck on the bee's body fur. When the bee moves on to the next flower, some pollen that was stuck to the bee from previous flowers falls off onto the stigma of the new flower.
What does a flower do when it is pollinated?
The worker bee has many roles. It can be a nurse bee or a house bee, taking care of jobs in the hive. It also can be a field bee gathering nectar and pollen. It can be an attendant and feed the queen, her job is to lay eggs, the drones job is to mate with the queen, the worker does everything else from carrying out the dead and making wax for the combs.
What are the symbiotic relationships between bumble beeflower?
the relationship is mutualism, just so you know. :D the bee uses the pollen to create honey, which it can't live without, and the flower relies on the bee to pollinate it to keep the species alive. ex. when the bee gets the pollen stuck to it's legs, it flies to another flower and the flower creates seeds.
What does a bee get from a flower?
It gets Nectar from the flower then turns it into honey.
What kind of relationship is exhibited when a bee flies a flower to get nectar?
This relationship is an example of mutualism, where both the bee and the flower benefit from the interaction. The bee receives nectar as a food source, while the flower gets pollinated by the bee, aiding in its reproduction.
Is a flower affected when a bee sucks its nectar?
No, the nectar is there to bee suck, and then, the bee takes the pollen to other flowers.
What bees pollinate?
As bees take nectar from a flower, pollen gets transferred from the stamen on to the bee's body. When the bee goes to the next flower some of this pollen is transferred to the stigma, fertilizing the flower. 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.
What does a worker bee do at the flower?
They gather a flowers nectar, but while they do that, the flowers pollen gets on the bee and when he goes to the next flower he drops some of it and more sticks to him, that how flowers pollenate.
Is a bee and a flowe an example of mutalism?
Yes. Mutualism is any long-term relationship that helps both animals. In this case, the bee gets access to nectar, and the flower gets pollinated.
What if anything does bee get from its relationship with the flower?
Pollen and nectar.
What is an exmple of mutualism?
An example of mutualism is the relationship between bees and flowers. Bees collect nectar from flowers for food, while inadvertently transferring pollen between flowers to aid in their reproduction. Both the bees and the flowers benefit from this interaction.
What happens when a bee lands a flower?
It collects the nectar and pollen (pollinating the flower).
What is the relationship of bee and a flower?
Mutualism - both species benefit from their relationship. The bee comes to the flower to collect nectar as food, and brushes against the anthers of the flower, which are covered in pollen. The bee moves to another flower to collect nectar and rubs the pollen off on the second flower's stigma, fertilizing the flower. Thus, the bee receives a source of food from the flowers, and the flowers are pollinated by the bee.
What is bee pollination?
As bees take nectar from a flower, pollen gets transferred from the stamen on to the bee's body. When the bee goes to the next flower some of this pollen is transferred to the stigma, fertilizing the flower. 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.
Which part of the bee helps to collect nectar from flower?
It's tongue.
