Janette. thanks for your comments. Bees are quite difficult but for me, easier than butterflies, or even birds. I usually take several shots (could even do on continous shoot) and pick the best one.

Thanks again. And you have me baffled again! I'm strictly a shoot and point merchant with an extremely limited technical expertise - probably can't even call it that.

Great bee shot! I never thought of using continuous shoot to maybe get one good photo. Going to try that! :)

I usually forget about continous shoot but my best shot I got from using that was one of some seagulls whirling on the beach above some food! I'm going to try to remember to use it more now!
