I really like #1, very sharp. To me it looks a little over exposed, but I am also having issues with my monitor so not sure. I kinda like 2, its cool to see the pollen flying everywhere, the rear end of the bee takes away from the shot. Same as 3.

Overall the colors are nice, the shots are sharp, but I would lower the exposure just a touch.

To me, the hardest part of macro is getting the subject tack sharp. You accomplished that.

Nice work, keep it up.

Cool shots!

For bugs that aren't moving much, where you can sacrifice some shutter speed (like the fly), try f/11; you'll get more DoF.
