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.

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.
