Nice shot, but this is not a bee. It is a hoverfly. Some of them mimic bees, some wasps. Jiri

Location
This photo was taken at Messingham quarry in Lincolnshire EnglandTime
I believe it was taken mid afternoonLighting
it was a bright sunny day however I used a Ring Flash to freeze the shotEquipment
I used a PENTAX K-5 with a Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP A/M 1:1 Macro Lens also a Ring FlashInspiration
The flower was so colourful and the Bee or is it a hoverfly was also so colourfulEditing
This photo has not been edited it is as taken other than a slight cropIn my camera bag

be patient and if possible try taking several shots with different setting take some test shots to make sure you have framed the subject If possible try taking several shots with different setting don't get stung
