As a safety flame, keep it on this if the burner is not in use :)
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.
It's hotter than the yellow flame.

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.
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.
