Very nice! Last time I photographed a bee, I was petrified of getting stung and he kept buzzing from flower to flower. It was so frustrating. I don't know how in the world you got such an awesome pic!

@Pim Rupert:

What Pim Rupert said. I like a little more drama in my still lifes -- which is what this is, whether the bee's heart still beats or not.

A good macro, but there are so many of them. And this one is not that one that is special. I do not like the (yellow)leave in front of the picture.
