a honeybee, a cut leaf daisy, and the mist setting on my hose

Found a honeybee on an old shell out in my grow-out bit of the garden / rockery and got some closeups.
Watered the plants and put the hose on mist to water my cuttings ... over by ... the rockery. You see where this is going.
Whoops.
Would normally have left it alone but some green ants recently took up over there and theres a paper wasp nest in a nearby tree. So. Pulled off a cut-leaf daisy nearby and got her to walk onto a warm rock.
Big success!
All E-P5 + M.Zuiko 60mm 2.8 + Raynox DCR-150.

The shell is a novel substrate.

Yeah it was tricky to light - pretty much zero worthwhile natural light (think that's why it didn't move in the first place - high wind, no sun in the little alcove it was in, cool morning) and trying to show extreme closeup detail of it feeding and show something coherent of the body gradually drying off over the sequence. Ended up at around F14-F18 and double diffusing the flash through the daisy to get the underside of the bee lit
Yeah owning a marine tank comes in handy in a few ways - certainly end up with a lot of spare lime, sodium bicarbonate, sand, carbon, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride/sulphate and snail shells to use around the garden
