 Thanks to all who voted!!

No special setup. Just a straight outdoors shot on a morning with beautiful light. Used my 150mm macro lens with Nikon speedlights mounted to the front of the lens & shot handheld. Snapped when the bee was actually hovering away from the flower..... thanks again, Andrew

Very nice macro you have there. I know the bee is fast, but I would have like it better if you could freeze it.
