Your computer needs to have a bluetooth radio as well. If its a laptop it might already have one integrated. otherwise you can just purchase a USB bluetooth dongle. We sell one in the store.
How are you trying to connect it to your arduino? We recommend using the IO Expansion shield which comes with a header for Xbee radios. You could optionally connect it with wires, but this might result in faulty connections and cause some problems.
If you look at the bluetooth bee you can see a pin out diagram. Indicating what each pin is.
You basically only need 4 pins connected to the arduino.
GND
3.3V
Tx
Rx Hector
