I came for the flowers, I left with the bees

Went to the local garden today to get some flower shots (some overcast skies, and I had a free hour, and it's close). About 10 minutes into my outing, I noticed a few plants that had a ton of bees, and spent the next 20 minutes taking out of focus photos (f/2.8, natural light, it's a crap-shoot, someday i'll get a flash).

These are the ones that turned out.

Thanks for the comments everyone! There was indeed some nice overcast light, for the compositions, I did a few shots from above, but they weren't as interesting so I tried to get eye-level.
