Because that is just cold unburnt gas
because it wont work!
A Bunsen burner flame is hottest when the air valve hole is open.
Because, with the air-hole open, the burner creates a pale blue, much hotter flame - which is difficult to see. Closing the hole creates a yellow flame which is easier to see.
When the air hole on a Bunsen burner is closed, air is excluded, so the flame becomes a yellowish candle-like flame.
With the air hole fully open, the flame will be fierce, but I doubt if it can be said to be dangerous. Simply close the air hole a little.
To change the flame of a Bunsen burner you must open or close the air valve, usually this is done by rotating the barrel.

collar for turning to close and open the air hole air hole for allowing oxygen to mix with the gas barrel for the gas to go up gas hose for allowing gas into the Bunsen burner

To change the flame on a Bunsen burner you need only to open or close the air valve to change the combustion reaction.
A Bunsen burner focuses a lot of heat straight upward, instead of outward. This allows you to heat something up at close range without your hand or anything else getting too hot. Most Bunsen burners have a valve that controls gas flow and adjustable vents where you can control the amount of air that feeds the flame. Bunsen burners are a safe, practical way to apply heat in a chemistry lab.
A Bunsen burner flame is hottest when the air valve hole is open.
When you close the air valve of a Bunsen burner the flame turns yellow due to incomplete combustion and the ignition of carbon particles (soot).
It will not burn.
close the air hole by twisting the collar
