Lets bee having you

I have discovered that Bees are camera shy. They're not blip-tarts like ladybirds and spiders who have a tendency to pose, nor are they exhibitionists like snails, instead they lurk, just waiting until you've got the focus about right before shooting off out of frame making the next stage of the bug series somewhat tricky to achieve.

However having spent some time kneeling in a damp and nettley flower bed with a hangover spitting headache, I got him :D
