Bees on Echinacea - They love the Nectar

The bees at this time of year hang all over my echinacea. I take tons of pictures of them because they hold still for the photograph!

    Does the color of the echinacea matter? Mine are more reddish pink than purple. I read somewhere that bees see the color red as black. Is that true?
