How Bees Pollinate Flowers? 

Flowers and plants depend on bees to pollinate them so they
can stay alive just as bees depend on flowers and plants to
feed off. This is an example of interdependence. If bees went
extinct, many flowers would die and there would be no honey,
no fruit, no vegetables and most food would be gone. Bees
pollinate flowers by flying onto a flower and then eating the
pollen and nectar. At the same time, they brush against the
male part of the flower so pollen sticks to them. They then go
to another flower and brush on the female part so they produce
seeds that drop and make more flowers/plants.
