Most insects pollinated flowers are sweet smelling because they produce nectar.
Nectar is produced to attract the insects with the smell and have them, and in the whole process, while the insect is busy enjoying the nectar, the sticky pollen sticks to its body.
As soon as the insect travel to another flower, the earlier pollen stick to the new flower and pollination takes place.

Pollinated flowers are brightly colored and smell sweet to attract insects to them.
The pollination is done by pollen transferred from one flower to another, but it is not possible for each one, therefore, they are pollinated by using insects, flies and wind, etc. Most of the plants are usually rely on wind or animals to pollinate them. If the pollination is done by the insects then it is called as insect pollination. It is mostly done in the flowering plants only.
In some cases, done by insects like bees, butterflies, moths, flies, and colibris.
