Honey bees are pollinators. Identify the type of symbiotic relationship that exists between honey bees and flowering plants, and explain why your reasoning. a. This is commensalism because bees help plants pollinate and, in turn, obtain nectar from the plants. b. This is a mutualistic relationship, because bees obtain nectar from the plants, but do not provide any benefits to the plants. c. This is commensalism, because bees obtain nectar from the plants, but do not provide any benefits to the plants. d. This is a mutualistic relationship, because bees help plants pollinate and, in turn, obtain nectar from the plants.
