Bees have the ability to distinguish colors, they have a trichromatic color vision, so bees can see the three primary colours of UV, blue and green (they can't see red though) in the way that humans detect red, blue and green.
When bees go off to collect nectar, they are attracted to colours of flowers which act as signals for them about the type of flower colours that provide more or less nectar. They will favour certain colours over others, this means that if they have found yellow flowers to provide more nectar they're more likely to visit yellow flowers. There have been many experiements carried out that prove that bees can see colour and many have trained bees successfully to favour certain colour over others. you should read about the work carried out by Von Frisch early 20th century which prove this, and many that followed after that.
