When the honeybee lands on a flower and that flower has pollen which is usually located somewhere near or inside the flower, the bee sucks up the pollen, and get the pollen on its body, and as the bee goes to another flower, that pollen mixes with the new flower and then seeds are produced and from there the flower starts to grow when that seed takes root somewhere.
