Thank you all for looking and for your kind comments.

I spent an hour in the garden earlier trying to get a bee in flight. I used a fully manual lens for this. No chance of getting this close with the kit lens. Flash used to freeze the movement. It took maybe 30 attempts before I got this one.

Test shot at near maximum zoom. Lens showing a large number of dust particles. Shot at iso 100, f16 and with static lighting. No flash . About 12 focus stacked images. Hope to improve my set up over the coming months.
