Honeybee in flight and one of the many thread-waisted wasps. Hard to shoot those because they sure don’t hold still.

Bonus – Hang Five!
Hang five? More like two or three? The Thread-waisted Wasp is an inadvertent pollinator. And at the rate they move around (they’re very hard to photograph), my guess is that they get a good bit of pollinating done. Although they do feed on nectar, they also eat other insects. This one is consuming what looked like a very young grasshopper (for which I shed no tear).
