Best Answer

Many plants only get pollenated by honeybees. The bees collect pollen on their legs from a male flower and fly to a female flower where some of the pollen is rubbed off on the pistils of the female flower. The female plant is then able to produce whatever fruit it produces. The list of plants that are pollentated in this way is long. As much as 90% of all plants are pollenated by insects. Honeybees pollenate many plants important to man inluding clover, which is essential to the beef cattle industry and fruit bearing plants like apple and orange trees which provide many essential vitamins.
