Bees contribute to pollination by transferring pollen from one flower to another while foraging for nectar. This transfer of pollen is essential for the fertilization and reproduction of many plant species, including fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Bees are particularly effective pollinators because they are hairy and therefore carry pollen between flowers as they visit them to collect nectar.

Bees contribute to pollination by transferring pollen from the male part of a flower to the female part of the same or another flower, which fertilizes the plant and allows it to produce seeds and fruits. This process is essential for the reproduction of many plants and the production of food crops. Bees are efficient pollinators because they collect nectar and pollen from flowers as a food source, and inadvertently transfer pollen as they move between flowers.
