Most plants need to have pollen transferred from one flower to another. They produce nectar to attract insects such as bees. As the insects take the nectar some of the pollen sticks to their bodies and is transferred to the next flower they visit.
It could be seen as a a sort of payment by the plant for services by the insects.
