NIche shots,!, congrats.
Have you been using flash?
If so, it looks like the flash shot is somewhat in excess..
(in my opinion there are some brigth spots in the bee and in the flowers.). Anyway, a good job.

I'm always impressed with these incredibly sharp insect photos. I seldom manage to focus before they are gone.
