I had to run in the house real quick, get my camera, and get back out to the patio before this bee was gone. I didn't have time to even check the settings, but it turned out that the shutter speed was at 1/600. I zoomed in to 135mm, which is as close as I can get with the lens that was on the camera, and just started shooting. He was moving around pretty fast, but I was happy with the clarity I got under the circumstances. The picture was cropped some, but not too much. Thanks for the comments.

Good job, Jimbob I like "Hovering2" even better because of the background. I know how hard it is to catch these beasts on camera.
