Really a beginner on taking macro shots. I've been trying to capture a bee/flower but very hard to catch it in motion especially with breeze blowing the flower. Suggestions?

YES IT IS DIFFICULT ! using flash to freeze motion is one method but need to ballance lighting to prevent black backgrounds.
suggest using higher iso and say f6 apperture to try get quite a high shutter speed.
what settings did you shoot at?

Not bad
Bees are one of the most difficult subjects as they are nearly always on the move. Agree with Phil's suggestions
