I also often take photographs in close of bees pollinating flowers, and this immediately grabbed my attention. Beautiful shots, amazing colors.
I love how stark the color contrast is with the solid lush green leaves in the background.
It's interesting because where I live Honey-Bees and Bumble or Carpenter Bees' pollen sacks on the leg seem to always be yellow or greenish, but this bee has bright red ones.
Which camera did you use for these?
I capture insects with a clamp-on full-size lens set on my Pixel phone.
