This looks INCREDIBLE. Great work! And great background. Your other recent pictures do seem to have oversaturated backgrounds, though.

Would you believe that I'm not really pushing the saturation in post too much -it's just the quality of the light.

Yeah, I'd believe it- the bees still look great in all the pics

Hahaha, it's like the little guy is resting his chin on the flower petal.
Well actually, it's a female, all worker bees are female, but "little guy" has a better ring to it... yeah....

Actually this solitary bee is a male -but you're right he only gathers nectar for himself

Oh? A male drone? Well it is that time of year again, spring that is. You have good eyes.

The female of the species [link] -notice the jaws and how she's covered in pollen. She's collecting it for her eggs -something the male doesn't do.

Ah, I see now. Thanks for clearing that up!
