The yellow flame, with a temperature of max. 300 0C, is used only for the functionality checking of a Bunsen burner. The temperature is too low for heating in many experiments.
This is also known as a Dirty flame because of its tendency to cause soot buildup.(you can see this phenomenon in a gas fireplace that is set too high.)
