Bees prefer fragrant, red coloured flowers like roses. Yellow, scentless or purtrid smelling flowers are frequented by flies. I have however seen hungry bees on Dandilions and dasies. Hunger seems to be a great motivator.

Bees like any flower that will provide nectar. Obviously the more nectar the more they like it. they do however have taste preferences for example they do not like avocado nectar (which is plentiful) and prefer citrus nectar. Possibly because the avocado nectar has too high a concentration of potassium.

Bees like a wide range of flowers. They are attracted by scents and bright colours, but to a bee the most important thing is that the flower is an easily accessed source of nectar. They will ignore flowers where the nectar is difficult for them to reach.

Bees like plants that have flowers because most flowers provide bees with nectar and pollen. Those two substances are used by bees to make honey, which they feed to their young and themselves and also to build the 'combs' of wax to store food and incubate young.
