Kang: Mutualism





This is an example of mutualism between the flower Liatris and Bombus bimaculatus located at 42.382761, -71.505805.  The flower provides the bee with nectar and when the bee lands on the flower, it gets covered with pollen.  As the bee moves from flower to flower, the flowers get pollinated.  This benefits both the flower and the bee.
