    They are not conflicting but I can see how you might think that. Pollen is plant sperm. In order for pollination to occur many plants have special needs. The pollen has to be “picked up” and transferred to the female stigma. One example of how honeybees take nectar but don’t pollinate flowers are flowers that require “buzz pollinating”.

    Hope that clears things up. Happy to answer anymore questions (I am just someone who is passionate about nature I’m not a professional or anything).
