Wow, stunning! I have all of these in my garden as well, but it takes a special hand to photograph them. Especially the carpenter bee. They are not easy to capture. Apparently, they have "dog fights" for territory. Or at least the species Xylocopa caffra. It makes it harder to photograph them if they are constantly on the lookout for a fight! Stunning photographs.

Nothing special my friend, just determination and patience to get those flitting and fighting small guys.
At times they hover for a second, like the one that's in my post and that's the time to get them.
I must say that bigger carpenter bees can hover for 2 seconds, so that's much more time to get them like this one.

That is true! I have snapped some photographs in those 2 seconds they hover. But as you mentioned it takes time and determination. Awesome photograph the one above!
You just have to be ready for them methinks. Glad that you like the photo.
