All three shots are pretty nice but #3 is a winner.

Awesome reflection on the bee's eye.

I love the wing action in the second shot. All of them are good. Very nice.

I have been trying to get flight shots for many different kinds of insects , it takes a lot of patience. Thanks for your comments.

Had to play a lot with the f stop and shutter speed. I think these were f 16, 105 macro, 1/500....
