As a safety flame, keep it on this if the burner is not in use :)
The yellow flame on a Bunsen burner is called a "safety flame" or a "luminous flame." This flame is typically used when a lower temperature is required since it produces less heat than a blue flame.
The Bunsen burner uses a blue flame, which is produced when air and gas mix in the burner tube and are ignited. This blue flame is hotter than a yellow flame and is commonly used for heating in laboratories.

The name is a "safety flame". This is when the air hole on the Bunsen burner is closed, resulting in a flame with a yellow, sooty appearance. It is used for low-temperature heating applications.
It is used for adjusting the flame
A blue Bunsen burner flame is not necessarily "better". A yellow Bunsen burner flame just shows that it is on, but is usually too big to actually be able to heat something safely. Blue means the flame is smaller (though hotter), and is used to heat.

Yellow/Orange. The blue one is harder to see and hotter.

The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
Yes, the flame of a Bunsen burner with a closed air hole can still be used for heating, but it will produce a cooler, more yellow flame compared to a Bunsen burner with an open air hole. Adjusting the air hole allows for control of the flame temperature.
