Pollinator

Definition: any organism that carries pollen from the male anthers of a flower to the female stigma of a flower to accomplish fertilization (pollination).

Connection: Bees are one example of a pollinator. They use the hairs on their body to hold pollen grains from male anthers on a flower then carry them to a female stigma, accomplishing fertilization. 

note: I couldn't get my identifier in the picture because the bee kept flying from flower to flower.
