    I tried for hours to get photos of bees on lavender - not good, they moved too fast. I was invited to take photos of a local flower garden and halfway through I realized that there were lots of bees .. moving slower. None of them would pose for me, so I watched how they explored flowers and caught this one he came up from the back of the flower.
