Its very rare I manage to get insects in flight in anything near focus, so I was quite pleased with this one.

I like this.
There is something unusual in seeing th bees in flight in a still but the near invisible wings and the fact that in this instant they are in parallel makes it look they are impaleed on some invisible spike.
