I forgot to say but i guess you already know... the warmer the weather the more active the insects. Shooting bees and bumbles etc. can be difficult under those conditions, especially when they are frantically feeding on the flowers. Look for one that is somewhat slower than the rest, then wait for him to sit still for a micro second (LOL) and shoot :o) When i shoot bees feeding in the full hot sun more than half of my shots are failures too... just so you know ;o) Oh btw, i meant dont follow them too long if the reason you follow it is that its fleeing from you. Most bees dont flee, but are just done with the flower and fly to another one... ;o) Good luck hunting Sheila, Jeroen
