How does bees spread pollen?
A bee has concave depressions on the tibia of her hind pair of legs surrounded by hairs. These are called corbiculae or 'pollen baskets'. When pollen gets on to the bee's body she brushes it back using her fore legs into the corbucilae. You can often see this when a bee is in flight or standing on a flower. Look for a yellow 'lump' on the back legs.
Hummingbirds drink nectar from flowers. As they pass from flower to flower the hummingbirds carry pollen aiding in pollination. What kind of relationship exists between the hummingbirds and the flower?
mutualism
What role does nectar have in the process of pollination?
Bees go to different flowers to collect nectar. When the bee is near the flower the pollen grains stick to the bee. When the bee moves to another flower the pollen grains itself jump from the bee to stigma. In this way it helps in pollenation.
What is the effect of bees?
As the bees (and other flying insects) move from flower to flower, they drink the nectar and carry pollen on their bodies from flower to flower. It is this cross-pollination that fertilises each flower and the flower can then produce seed for next season flowers.
How do incts carry pollen?
The tibia of the bee's hind legs are flattened and have a concave section on their outer edges. Around these are hairs angled in towards the centre. These are called 'pollen baskets' or corbiculae. After a bee has visited a flower it will use its forelegs to brush pollen from the body down into the corbiculae where it becomes trapped in the hollow by the hairs.

Often through bees or birds or insects. They get the nectar from the flower, but the flower sticks its pollen on them as a result, and when they go to the next flower, they transport it. It's a mutualistic relationship.
How do animals help disperse seed?
Bees and wasps carry the male pollen to the female stigma's as they collect nectar from flower to flower. Also, in bigger animales e.g foxes, the pollen sticks to their fur as they pass the flower, and then when they rub against another flower, they transfer the pollen from their fur onto the stigma.
What is the purpose of the anther?
The anthers carry the pollen of the flower.
