The technique I used for this was the result of a problem I had to solve in General Physics Qualifiers at Michigan Tech. From a rough calculation by approximating the wing-span, weight and length of the bee, I guesstimated the wing-frequency and used it to fix the shutter speed. I must admit that I got pretty lucky with just enough light.

A rose is a flowering shrub of the genus Rosa, and the flower of this shrub. There are more than a hundred species of wild roses, all from the northern hemisphere and mostly from temperate regions. The species form a group of generally prickly shrubs or climbers, and sometimes trailing plants, occasionally reaching as high as 50 ft by climbing over other plants.

The name originates from Latin rosa. Rose hips are sometimes eaten, mainly for their vitamin C content. They are usually pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup, as the fine hairs surrounding the seeds are unpleasant to eat (resembling itching powder). They can also be used to make herbal tea, jam, jelly and marmalade. Rose hips are also used to produce an oil used in skin products.

Rose shrubs are often used by homeowners and landscape architects for home security purposes. The sharp thorns of many rose species deter unauthorized persons from entering private properties, and may prevent break-ins if planted under windows and near drainpipes. The aesthetic characteristics of rose shrubs, in conjunction with their home security qualities, makes them a considerable alternative to artificial fences and walls.
