These bees visit our plum and peach trees every fall. Caught this one with macro mode using a tripod. Didn't seem to bother it too much. It kept right on munching for a variety of shots. Cropped it for size, auto adjusted color balance, and unmasked for sharpness and detail.

Yet another wonderful shot in the challenge, at first I thought I wanted slightly shallower depth of field on the wasp, but then I realised that there was no loss with the greater depth of field that you've got. One thing I would have said, is that wilst the wasp may not have approved a mister would have added to the picture in that the wasp would have looked better with some water droplets on its back.
I was taking photos of these guys eating our grapes yesterday. They devour fruit, don't they? Nice photo -- exceptionally clear, great colors, framing! Nice job...
