A Note on Our Colors:

Betterbee Hive Portals are uniquely colored to maximize your honey bee's ability to locate its unique home. Based on the principles laid out by the late Dr. Karl Von Frisch's pioneering work in honey bee vision, Hive Portal’s are offered in Violet, Blue, Orange, and Yellow. These colors are the most recognizable to honey bees, helping them locate their hive. Frisch's work was instrumental in establishing both that honey bees can see not only specific colors, but also that their behavior can be modified. Each color of the Hive Portal was selected and tested to help the bees return to the home colony.
