Birds (humming birds, and other species that live on nectar from flowers) and bees, help the environment by cross pollinating flowers and plants.
They go to collect nectar, and some pollen gets stuck to them, and when they move to another plant some could get knocked off to pollinate a flower...
Hence the reference.

they say it to try and explain to a young child where babies come from, it makes no sense but people feel telling them the real way would be inappropriate so they use the birds and the bees or they use when a mommy and daddy love each other very much sometimes a baby is born.

It means sex. People say it because bees and some birds pollinate flowers, which is a metaphor for sex.
