Welcome back, Ginger Pixie!
Did you shoot the bee 50 times? That's about the best way I know of to improve the look of your image. Moving around helps, and if you want the bee's "fur" to have more detail, meter on it before shooting. Then get another shot of the flower without the bee, metering for the flower. Marrying the two shots will get you something in the middle of the above - slightly lighter bee, slightly darker bloom. Or follow the bee to a darker flower, metering on the bee. And move closer if your lens allows for it.
