I found this bee having a snack in my backyard. A bit of a messy eater. The picture isn't as sharp as I'd like since I was hand holding the camera. I didn't think the bee would stick around long enough for me to run into my house for the tripod.

none of us use a tripod that much,the bugs dont stay still ,we do use a flash ,most shots are at 1/200, F9 to F13, MF,best way to get good shots is to walk slow,site down and let the bugs come to you ,nice bee it's one of the smallest bee about 2 mm to 4mm keep at it,this is the same bee handheld 1/320, F9, and flash

Agree with CM. Tripods are usually too cumbersome to help capturing bugs. You did the right thing by trying to capture the moment. :)
