Yes, the color is what attracts the bees. bees see in a wider spectrum they see more ultraviolet than we do, so efrectively they see even more colors than we do. Some flowers look even more vibrant in the ultraviolet spectrum.

"Q.E.D." is latin for something, means something like "therefore we proved what we set out to prove". I think they use it a lot in math proofs or philosophy proofs, you start by stating a theory, then work down from the known elements, then at the end (hopefully) get to the point where you prove the theory you started out with. I guess it is sort of the mathmatical equivalent of "voila!"

I used it because i kind of started out contradicting you but then actually proved your point (that color is for us to enjoy)
