Answer: Pollen can be blown in the wind which the bees/other pollinators can follow to get to the flowers.

Explanation: Plants rely on bees and other insects to reproduce and so they have adapted, over time, to become more attractive to them. Bees are drawn to plants with open or flat tubular flowers with lots of pollen and nectar. A flower's scent can have particular appeal to bees, and its bright colors or pollen being blown in the wind may lure the bees in.
