This depends entirely on the flame source. Color of the flame is the best indicator of heat. Take a common wax candle for instance. Color tells us about the temperature of a candle flame. The outer core of the candle flame is light blue -- 1670 K (1400 °C). That is the hottest part of the flame. The color inside the flame becomes yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be. The red portion is around 1070 K (800 °C).

The beginning. If you look on a bunson burner, it will look clear. The blue is the next hottest until you work your way to the red, where is cools a little, the end, the yellow, is the coolest. The temperature of the flame decreases as it is drawn away from the source and cooled by the air in the room.

It can't be at the top because people wave there hand through the top and don't really feel much.
I would say the bottom is the hottest but you have to remember heat rises so I would say the middle.
Another thing is if i remember right when you cook the bottom part of the flame is bluish and I don't think that would be nearly as hot as the orange part of the flame.
So my answer is the middle of the flame is the hottest and don't attempt to find out by yourself through physical means.
Hope that helps.

Slightly higher than the origin of the flame. And don't go by color. Blue is not necessarily the hottest. Some things burn blue, orange, yellow, red, green, etc. Some things burn with an invisible flame as well.

It school I was told it was abour 3/4 of the way to the tip.
If you look at a bunsen flame there is a teardrop within a teardrop. The hottest part is at the top of the inner teardrop.

A little bit away from the point of the flame.

I've never tried -.-
I think my science teacher has said this before, but I forgot. I think it's the beggining, strong blue flame.

the tip if it is safe try testing it with a piece of paper make sure there is water by the side of you
