Symbiosis is a form of interaction of one living thing with another. Living things in this world are dependent on each other, including animals. Every animal needs the help of another animal.

One of these interactions is between bee beetles (Bombus vertalis) and sunflowers. The interaction that occurs is a symbiotic mutualism, namely the relationship of two living things that are mutually beneficial.

In this relationship, the bee is not the only party who benefits from the nectar obtained from the flower, but the flower also benefits, namely the bee can help the pollination proce

The relationship between bees and flowers is included in the symbiosis of mutualism, here's an explanation of the process

In the petals of flowers where pollination is assisted by insects (such as by bees and butterflies), there is nectar or flower essence in the flower parts. This nectar is very sweet and rich in sugar. This nectar is a mixture of various sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Nectar is used to attract insects that will come to the flower. When insects drink nectar in flowers that makes the pollen stick to the insect's body. This pollen will then be carried to other flowers and fall to the pistil of the flower. Thus, insects such as bees will help pollinate the flower. Plants can pollinate by being farther apart, because these insects help. This creates a mutually beneficial relationship, where bees get food from flower nectar, while flowers are helped by pollination by bees. In plants where wind pollination is assisted, the flowers are simpler and do not have nectar. On the other hand, this flower has an open structure and a large amount of pollen so that the wind can spread it easily. Bees have unique ultraviolet vision to see floral patterns that cannot be seen with the human eye. Bees have coarse hair to collect large baskets of pollen. Bees also have a special long tongue for sucking nectar, so there is a symbiotic mutualism. Thus, both of them benefit from this relationship.
