Especially like the pollen, I think it helps the detail.Nikon 3100 with 50-200 zoom all hand held.

They are slower and more friendly in the cool of the morning?? Thank you for sharing these hard to get shots.

Nice pictures.
I believe those are actually Carpenter Bees; Bumble Bees have a hairy abdomen.

Great images!!
But the highlights (pollen) are blown out, and appear as little white dots. This is difficult to control in bright sunlight, (one reason I love overcast days). A slight underexposure could help, 1/3-2/3 stop
