I grew lilies for many years and raised honey bees. Bees were not interested in the lilies at all except to gather water during the dry season. We had many thousands of other flowers they liked much better. Sometimes a butterfly or a hummingbird would go after a lily. Hummers really loved the pardalinum! Night flying moths like the Spinx moth were the most abundant on the lilies. And queen honeybees are not capable of feeding themselves nor flying after their one and only mating flight. Except when something happens to the hive and they swarm, mostly they make new queens to swarm.
The most color change you will see on lilies is due to temps, heat makes the pinks fade or discolor and in some cases like the orientals if it nice and cool when they bloom they will have a pink tint which is totally absent in the heat.
