What invisible "color" can bees see on flower petals?

Bees can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which is entirely invisible to the human eye. On flower petals, this allows them to perceive hidden bullseyes, dots, or "landing strips" (nectar guides) that point directly to the pollen and nectar.
By combining ultraviolet light with the colors blue and green, bees also perceive a unique composite color called "bee's purple," which humans cannot see. Conversely, bees cannot see the color red, which often appears as black or dark gray to them
