It is difficult to give a categorical answer to this because a bee's colour vision is different from ours. We see colours in the range from red to blue violet, but bees see orange yellow to ultra violet. Therefore bees can't see red. However, a red flower may not appear black to them because it may reflect ultra violet light which they can see.

Bees are particularly attracted to blue, purple, and yellow flowers. They can see the ultraviolet wavelengths emitted by these colors that human beings cannot detect.
