Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A pollinator is anything that helps carry pollen from the male part of the flower (stamen) to the female part of the same or another flower (stigma).

Detailed explanation-2: -A single bee can bring back a pollen load that weighs about 35% of the bee’s body weight. Bees carry this pollen on their hind legs on specialized structures commonly called “pollen baskets, ‘’ or corbicula (Figure 3).

Detailed explanation-3: -Honey bees collect pollen and nectar as food for the entire colony, and as they do, they pollinate plants. Nectar stored within their stomachs is passed from one worker to the next until the water within it diminishes. At this point, the nectar becomes honey, which workers store in the cells of the honeycomb.

Detailed explanation-4: -Entomophily is the transmission of pollen from flowering plants by insects. Bees are the primary pollinators.
