I am a scientist & scientifically speaking, bumble bees are black and yellow because they produce a special hormone which makes them this color. When they are really yellow that means they are mad and about to attack.
Bees are not attracted particularly to any specific colours, but they do seem to prefer brighter colours.
We have to be a little careful using our own vision as a measure because bees' colour vision is different from ours. They are not so sensitive to the deeper reds as we are, and they can see well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum which is invisible to us. There are patterns on petals that bees find attractive that can only be seen in ultra-violet light.
A Bumble Bee is Really yellow and black.
Usually they are the typical 'bee colours' of yellow and black stripes. I have, however, seen a white and black striped one, once only, and that was most likely the result of a rare mutation.
They are usually black with broad yellow or orange bands.
They are black and yellow but sometimes can be a brown color or can seem a different color from light or something else.
Well, I was reading an article and it said that bees can be red, blue, or green. Otherwise, black and yellow.
Most bees have thoraxes and heads that are black in color, indicating that the natural color of the bee is black. Then a bee is black with yellow stripes.
It's like with zebras. no one knows.
yellow
The black and yellow stripes that bees and wasps share are to warn other animals (including humans) that they are dangerous. That is why people get alarmed when they see any flying insect with black and yellow stripes. The hover fly for example has black and yellow stripes. People are scared of them, even though they are completely harmless.
I was bitten today by a small black insect with yellow stripes, I think it was a spider but I am not too sure.
A black spider with yellow stripes is a garden orb spider. These are very common and not poisonous to humans.
They do have stripes.
Bee Stripes
Most bumble bees have yellow and black stripes.
No. They are black with yellow stripes; or yellow with black stripes. Does it really matter?
Yes, there are many bees with stripes that are not bumble bees. Honey bees for one have stripes, along with many other bees, wasps and bee and wasp mimics. Black and yellow and black and white stripes serve as an easily identifiable warning coloration that helps reduce predation on all the bees and wasps that wear them.
Most bees are yellow and black and have stripes. However, a bee that has two stripes is most likely a bumblebee.
It depends on the species of the bee. Some bee's bottoms are black. Others are black with yellow stripes. While others have grey stripes. There are over 250 species of bees and they all look different.
No. They are mostly black with yellow stripes but there are lots of different species.
No. That is in their DNA
A baby turtle with yellow and black stripes is usually a yellow-bellied slider. Their skin is striped yellow and black, and their shells have yellow and black swirls.
There are a few types of bees that can be described as having gray and black stripes. This includes the mining bee and the white faced hornet.
yellow and black
Bees have stripes that are black and yellow.
no, but bumble bees are and they don't sting unless you step on them and are as big as an American quarter dollar. honey bees are small maybe a centimeter long with orangeish yellow and black stripes, and do not sting unless stepped or wounded.
