Thanks all!!
Natural lighting, cloudy day. The bee was only on each flower for a few seconds, and the grass was high, so I couldn't get an unobstructed and in focus shot. I noticed that it was heading for the closest flower in succession & I guessed the next one, found an opening, & waited. It worked twice. The flowers dropped from the bee's weight & being low in the grass probably helped diffuse the lighting, but it made for a hard shot.
