Mutualism is a form of symbiosis in which both organisms benefit from the presence of the other. In this image, mutualism is shown through the honeybee pollinating the buttonbush flower. The bee collects nectar from the flower which is eventually turned into food for the colony. The pollen that adheres to the bee's fur is transferred to a female part of the plant as the bee travels, which allows the flower to produce the seeds that will propagate its species.
