On March 15th, I was outside with Dan while he was working on his classic Mustang. Actually, he had me take pictures of some boring old stuff for him.
While I was out there, I noticed that there were hundreds of bees around a flowering bush. I decided to try photographing them with my Macro. I got extremely close to some of them while bees flew all around the bush and me. I have no fear of them. I suppose I should; but, I do not. For the most part, honeybees will not bother you as long as you do not threaten them. 
Fact: I adore bees and would love to have a beehive or two; but, it is just a pipe dream.
I also noticed a fly zipping among the flowers. He was super fast! It was tough to capture the little sucker. I do not have a perfect picture of him. However, I do like this one and think it's good enough to share.
Edited to add: Dan did a little research and discovered that the fly is actually a Sweat Bee. I found that extremely interesting!
Nice shot! I stumbled upon this the other day. Maybe you can keep it for future reference when you get your own home.
