There are no flowers in Antarctica; it's too cold to grow any there.
There are no flowers growing in Antarctica, except those grown in research stations' hydroponic gardens. These must be edible according to the Antarctic Treaty.

What sort of food does a scientist eat in Antarctica?
All food consumed on Antarctica is imported by the country that supports the individual research station. Food, then, is typically what the scientist would eat in his/her home country. Exceptions are produce that scientists grow in hydroponic labs for consumption there. These include lettuce, tomato, spices and edible flowers.
What is grown in Antarctica?
Nothing is grown in Antarctica: it's too cold, 98% of the continent is covered with an ice sheet and there are months when there is no sunrise.

Crops include lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and edible flowers.
Do bees live in every continent but antarctica?
Bees live in every continent except antarctica, and everwhere where there are enough nectar-bearing flowers for long enough during the year for them to make enough honey to see them through the rest of the year.
