Here are some shots from the last weekend.. was actually lucky to come across this bee.. he was just busy with his work and I was busy with mine.. hehe.. All of these have been cropped except I guess the second one.. but.. still love them.. I am a very happy man now.. hehe..

You can see its tongue in this one if you look at the larger pic..

Beautiful closeups! I love the second and fourth the best - but they all are stunning!

Excellent job! I like the second one best, with the second flower slightly out of focus and the other two deep in the background.

oh man, all of those are great! But I'm especially drawn to the second one. The bokeh is just dreamy and creamy. The parallels of the two sets of flowers, one in focus and one not, is awesome. The composition is fantastic. Great, great job!
