It's not so much they don't like it: they can't see it. A bee's color vision is not the same as ours. Their eyes are sensitive well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not as far as ours towards the red end of the spectrum. To a bee, deep red appears black.

A bee's colour vision is not the same as ours. Human colour vision ranges from blue-violet to red, but a bee's colour vision ranges from ultra-violet to orange.
If bees are attracted to a particular object such as a flower which to us appears red, they may be seeing something in ultra-violet which to us is invisible.
