My understanding is that they are colour-blind, though sensitive to
a different range of the spectrum to us.

Colour blind in our terms. They don't see the red end of the spectrum but
they do see the uv end.

And any beekeepers whose clothes get a lot of venom on them needs
to learn how to handle bees. Bees die when they sting, and that
means a lot of dead bees and a disturbed hive.

I couldn't agree more.

Make the most of it :-)
