Bees etc at Cambridge Botanic Gardens

Not the best of weather for our club outing to Cambridge Botanic Gardens to practise some macro techniques as it was windy and overcast. We spent a lot of time in the flower beds in front of the glasshouses that have been laid out specifically for bees. A lot of the Bunble bees are infected with mites as in the first image but they seem still to be functioning. 
I also tried some focus stacking changing focus ring manually on a tripod (last two images) but will need to give less exposure next time (I had set half stop over) as the highlights are generally burnt out in my images.
