When a bee visits a flower to forage for nectar, some of the flower's pollen rubs off the stamens on to the bee's body. The bee then moves on to another flower and some of the pollen on the bee's body is transferred to the stigma, thus pollinating, or fertilizing, the flower.
When a bee starts foraging from a particular type of flower, it will visit only that type of flower for as long as it can. This behaviour means that pollen is always delivered to the correct variety of flower.
Pollination is important because a plant will not develop seeds or fruit if the flower is not pollinated. If the crop plants are not pollinated, the crops will fail.
Bees are not the only pollinators, but they are by far the most important, responsible for most of the pollination done by insects.
It is said that one out of every three mouthfuls of food we eat and beverages we drink are the result of pollination by bees. If we were to lose the bees, we would be hungry.
