How do bees see a yellow flower?

Bees perceive colors differently than humans; they can see ultraviolet light, which is invisible to us. A yellow flower appears more vibrant to bees because they can detect the ultraviolet patterns that many flowers have, which help guide them to nectar. To bees, a yellow flower likely appears as a combination of yellow and ultraviolet, making it stand out more in their environment. This enhanced color vision aids in their foraging and pollination activities.
