An Observation Only, no postulate here.
 
In June / July I witnessed the Honey Bees AVOIDING the red clover, and attacking the Crimson Clover.
At the exact same time, I saw the Bumble Bees AVOIDING the Crimson Clover and attacking the Red Clover.
 
So, each bee had a solid preference for one type of clover versus the other.
 
I thought this was cool. Yes, I have seen Honey Bees on the Red Clover at times, but not when Crimson is present.
 
Go figure.
