I think it's great. Catching these guys clearly in flight is quite a feat! What kind of flower is that, and what settings were you using? Specifically, did you use a flash to capture what I assume was a very fast shutter speed, or was this possible because of bright sunlight? Thanks for sharing.

Great! I've been out "hunting" bees this summer, and they really are hard to photograph.

By the way, what settings did you use? I'm especially interested in shutter speed

EXIF= F2.8, 1/1000sec, ISO 80, no flash

it was a bright sunny day, no breeze as well which helps

BTW, its lavender
