Not me, you did much better than any time I've tried catching these guys (or anything else) "in action". Yesterday I was shocked to get a few shots of a bee on a bluebonnet before he buzzed away. Turns out he was such a willing subject because he was dead! (Wasn't 'till I zoomed in on the monitor to see an ant on his back)

Your bumble is full of life - and speed. Nice job!

Good try! The only time I get them is when they've paused in a flower--even then I've gone just about crazy sometimes trying to move from flower to flower with them. As soon as the auto focus clicks, they move!
