Decide which flame to use. If the air hole on the Bunsen is open you will get a roaring flame a more gentle heat, close the air hole a Little flame will be quiet.
use the turning dial at the bottom
The yellow flame is considered a safe flame. If you are using the Bunsen to heat you would open the air vent so the flame turns blue, try heat on a yellow flame and it'll end up covered in soot.
The Regulating Collar. [ glad i could help :]]]
You would turn the collar on a Bunsen Burner so that the holes are exposing the flame to more oxygen to produce a blue flame. Close the holes by turning the collar to turn it back to the yellow (dirty) flame.
There are two adjustable parts on the Bunsen burner, the knob to control gas flow and the rotation of the collar to control air flow. The gas flow control, adjusts the size of the flame by controlling how much gas is burned. While the collar controls the intensity of the flame by controlling how completely the gas burns, more complete combustion the hotter the flame. These are the two parts to adjust a Bunsen burner, I hope I have answered your question.
Bunsen burners are preferred over candles or fires because the Bunsen burner produces a much higher temperature (noted by the blue flame) and it is much easier to contain/control a Bunsen Burner flame.
The silent flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow/orange flame.
a Bunsen burner flame can be 20* to 2000*
The valve on a Bunsen burner is able to control the gas flow by opening an closing an armature. The smaller the armature, the less gas flows and vice versa.
The temperature of a Bunsen burner is regulated by gas and airflow. The gas is controlled by a flow valve and the air is controlled by a screw mechanism on the collar. Different type of nozzles can control the flame's shape. The Bunsen burner was invented in 1855 by Robert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811-1899).

To change the flame of a Bunsen burner you must open or close the air valve, usually this is done by rotating the barrel.

Blue or heating flame.
The coolest flame on the Bunsen burner is the yellow-orange flame - approx. 300 0C.
