I shot this with a D7000 and 105mm Nikon. It was a very hot 40c summer day. I was walking past the Sir Adam Beck statue on University and Richmond St in Toronto, ON. A swarm of maybe 200 bees was busy drinking from the fountain at the statues base. I sprawled onto the fountain started shooting. Setting were. 1/160 at f3.5,iso 500. I didn't want to use a high ISO for a sharper image. F-stop is low but again I had no flash so I couldn't go higher and risk motion blur. Not a tech perfect picture but it does tell a story and I don't see many macros of multiple insects. Just the common one. I have adjusted the crop as suggested.
