Why do honey bees visit cherry blossoms and what do they collect from them?

Honey bees visit cherry blossoms to collect both nectar and pollen. Nectar is converted into honey inside the hive, while pollen serves as a protein-rich food source for larvae. In return, bees transfer pollen between flowers, enabling fertilization. A single honey bee can visit up to 1,500 flowers per foraging trip.
