The example of flowers evolving to produce ultraviolet markers on their petal in response to the ability to see ultraviolet radiation in honeybees is that of coevolution.

According to a definition, coevolution refers to reciprocal changes in 2 or more living organisms that are involved in some forms of interactions.

In other words, it is the development of certain characteristics by one organism in response to characteristics developed by another based on the fact that the two organisms interact in some ways.

In the illustration, some flowering plants depend on honeybees for pollination. Thus, as the honeybees developed the ability to see ultraviolet radiation, flowers had to evolve ultraviolet markers so as to keep guiding the honeybees to them and keep the relationship going.
