Although this may seem over-simple, bees are attracted by scent and by the colours.

However, bees don't see the colours as we do. Their colour vision extends well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum and is less sensitive to red. They can see patterns in the petals that we can't, and these patterns guide them to the nectar.

This attraction would also explain why bees will come and investigate you if you are wearing flower-scented perfume.
