Red

Pink

Answer 1

In a habitat with a large population of bees and few hummingbirds, the flower color that has the highest likelihood of occurring would be pink. This is because bumblebees prefer to visit pink flowers, while hummingbirds prefer red flowers. With more bees present, the selection pressure would favor the pink flower color.
