Example: Flea bites Commensalism: This describes a relationship in which both organisms do not harm each other and share their food.

3. A Conversation Between A Flower & A Bee Flower: “Hey bee buddy, why do you keep on buzzing around me and ruffling my petals?” Bee: “Hey Miss Flower, you shouldn’t be complaining. I know you want to look pretty and all but when I come and visit you to get my sip of nectar, your pollen gets stuck on my furry body but when I go to the next flower the pollen I collected from you gets transported to another flower.” Flower: “Ok, ok you got a point here. I think you Bee guys are doing great at your job on helping us flowers cross- pollinate, and I do enjoy it when you come and visit the flowers. But I just want to you to be careful because my petals are delicate and they could fall off easily.” Bee: “Iunderstand. I will let my friends, the Pollen Jocks know.” Flower: “Great! See you later Bee!!!! “
