Bees are attracted to flowers by their bright colours and their desire to collect nectar. Nectar tends to be found close to the base of the petals and as the bee attempts to reach it the bee brushes against the male stamens of the flower, which deposit pollen on to its fur. When the bee flies to another flower the same process occurs and some of the pollen which was already present on its fur may brush against the female parts of this flower and then serve to fertilise it.

Cross-pollination: As the insect moves from flower to flower gathering pollen (to make honey), they brush up against the flower's stamen and anthers. Pollen is deposited on the body of the insect by the anther, when it moves to another flower the pollen grains are "captured" by the sticky stigma (of the receptive flower). The pollen grain germinates on the stigma and the pollen tube grows into the ovary of the receptive flower where it fertilizes an ovule.

Self-pollination: When pollen is simply moved from the anther of one flower to the stigma within (or on) the same flower self-pollination occurs; in order to prevent self-pollination the anther and stigma of most flowers mature at different times, so that the stigma is not receptive when the pollen is released from the anther. Stamen insect pollinated flower is a flower that is fertilized by insects. Bees are commonly known for this as they transfer pollen grains from one flower to another for purposes of pollination.

A bee visits a flower to get nectar from the nectaries. As it does so it brushes against the stamens and the pollen sticks to the hairs on the bee's body. When it visits the next flower some of the pollen is brushed off on to the flower's stigma, pollinating the flower. Bees will tend to keep visiting the same type of flower for as long as nectar is available, thus flowers are pollinated by their own species.

An administrative division, subnational entity, or country subdivision is a portion of a country or other political division, established for the purpose of government. Administrative divisions are each granted a certain degree of autonomy, and are required to manage themselves through their own local governments. Countries are divided up into these smaller units to make managing their land and the affairs of their people easier. For example, a country may be divided into provinces, which in turn are divided into counties, which in turn may be divided in whole or in part into municipalities. These are only a few of the names given to administrative subdivisions; more examples are provided below.

Moving pollen from male floral parts to female flower parts to facilitate development of seeds and production of fruits is the way that bees pollinate. Bees land on flowers to gather nectar to take back to the hive or nest. They leave with pollen sacs from the anther temporarily adhering to apian feet until being dropped at the stigma, whereby the flower in question can start up seed production.

They don't do it deliberately. They visit a flower and particle of pollen stick to their bodies. When the then visit another flower, some of that pollen will rub off onto the new flower thereby pollinating it.

They are pollinated by wind, animals, water or splitting open forcefully. They can also self-pollinate and cross-section pollinate

When a bee lands on a flower part of the flower's pollen is captured in the bee's legs. When the bee flies to the next flower parts of the pollen on its legs are eft behind on.
