What part of a flower does a bee rub with another flower's pollen?
The female part -- known as pistil -- is the part of a flower that a bee rubs with another flower's pollen. The original source of the pollen for the insect in question is a flower's male part, known as anther.
How do organisms pollinate?
Let us consider the bee, which is the most famous, and the most useful pollinating organism. The bee comes to a flower in order to drink the nectar and eat the pollen, but the bee is also covered with hair (the bee hair consists of extrusions of chitin, it is not the same as mamallian hair) and lots of pollen sticks to it. When the bee then visits other flowers, it brings with it the pollen that it picked up at an earlier flower. If some of that pollen gets into the right place on the new flower (the right place being the pistil) then it will pollinate the flower.
Where does a bee leave the pollen on a flower?
The Stigma
Does the flower benefit when the bee collects pollen from it?
Yes, the flower benefits when the bee collects pollen from it because the pollen is transferred to other flowers during the bee's pollination process, helping with fertilization and reproduction. This allows the flower to produce seeds and fruit for the next generation.
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 happens when a bee lands a flower?
It collects the nectar and pollen (pollinating the flower).
How a flower is likely to be cross-pollinated by a bee?
when an insect visits a flower to feed on the nectar, some pollen grains from the anther stick to the hairy body of the insect. the pollen grains are brushed off onto the stigma when the insect visits another flower. examples of the flower:wild orchid balsam rose buttercup
What are the steps a bee takes to pollinate a flower?
a bee takes pollen into and out of the flower ;)
What does the bee get from its relationship with the flower?

What is a pollen producer?
A bee or butterfly is an example. Or a flower...
What if anything does bee get from its relationship with the flower?
Pollen and nectar.
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 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.
Is it good for the bee if it takes pollen from a flower?
It doesn't hurt the bee, if that's what you are wondering. Actually, the bee isn't trying to collect pollen at all. Bees stop on flowers to collect nectar, and the pollen clings to the fluff on their bodies. When the bee stops at another flower, the pollen from another plant is brushed onto the flower. This is one way that flowers reproduce. The nectar collected by the bee then goes on to become honey after it is taken back to the hive. So, when a bee takes pollen from a flower, it is neither good nor bad, but a neutral interaction.
