Very nice indeed! That second one looks like the fattest, blimp-like hoverfly (aka syrphid fly) I've ever seen!

Absolutely great Lee, wow. I really admire folks who can do macro photography and do it so well. I have close up lenses, focus rails, and extension tubes galore but I've never gotten a shot I was pleased with. Keep up the excellent work and hope it's ok with you if I borrow the fly shot for a couple of days to use as my desktop. I change shots every three or four days as whimsy takes me and I'd sure like to borrow it if that's ok with you.

Air, please excuse the naturalist in me, but it's not a bee, it's a syrphid fly (aka hover fly), and a great shot of one! They mimic bees quite a bit in their looks and behaviour, but the telltale sign is that it has a single pair of wings -- making it a fly. (The eyes are a giveaway too).
