The one with less nectar will be at a disadvantage as far as bee pollination is concerned. On a large scale, if the flower is unable to self pollinate, it is possible that it would eventually become extinct.

Then it will visit the nectar-filled flower, which will be pollinated with pollen from similar nectar-filled flowers. Those flowers will be preferred and the bee will pollinate those flowers and ignore less profitable flowers. The nectar-filled flower will then make more seeds than the flowers with less nectar, so that in the next generation, there are more seeds of the nectar-rich flower, and more of them will grow. Natural selection (the bee naturally selects the sweeter, juicier flower) means that the flower that is more attractive to the bee has a better chance of reproduction through increased pollination.

The bee will only pollinate the plant with more nectar and the plants with less nectar won't reproduce and will die off (an example of Darwin's survival of the fittest)

Then bee is biased and is prejudice against flowers with less pollen.
