Pollinator

Pollinators are animals that carry pollen from one plant to another in order to allow those plants to reproduce. The pollen from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another. Such as this bee that has landed on a hosta. It most likely is depositing pollen it carried with it, as well as picking up new pollen on its body. While many insects are pollinators, bees are the most specialized for the job.
