How do bees know where to find flowers?

Bees locate flowers using their keen sense of smell, vision, and ability to detect ultraviolet light. They are attracted to the scent of nectar and specific flower colours, particularly blue, purple, and yellow. Bees can also identify ultraviolet patterns on petals, which guide them to the nectar. Once a bee discovers a productive flower, it performs a waggle dance to communicate the location to other hive members, ensuring efficient foraging.
