Wow that must have been hard to focus. Were you manually focused in on the tips of the flowers and just waiting for the bee to land?

Similar, yes it's not particularly technical. Manual focus on a fixed point then fire a burst when the bees fly through that area. They are pretty quick so you need to be sharp yourself!
