Honey Bees on Thistles Our Yard

Comparing the D850, 105G Macro Nikkor f 2.8 to the Z9, Z 100-400 on bees. My D850 with the 105 attached is my go to kit for bees and flowers. The 105 does not focus very quickly and can be cranky and hard to deal with.
#s 1, 2 and 3 are D850 files. #s4, 5, and 6 are Z9. Different cameras and different "ideas" in mind for what the shots might look like.
I had some concerns about the Z 100-400's sharpness, clarity and color rendition. The bee shots are good, and I got what I wanted in terms of background lighting and bokeh.
I may do a 70-200 shoot out, shoulders allowing as I am in pain again today!
Download and enjoy! What do think? Do the Z 100-400 shots pass muster for bees?
