Great capture. Love the color of the cosmo to show off the bee. JanH

Oh man, it all depends on the temperature, the wing beats can go way beyond 200 flaps per second. A gentle breeze may have moved your special cosmos. Lovely shot.

If a bee flaps (back+forth) @ 200flaps/sec through 2×90 degrees, then in 1/5000th sec.(your camera shutter speed) a wing moves through 200*2*90/5000 = 7 degrees... so I think your bee stopped buzzing for your picture because the wings are so sharp. Ian
