We were lucky enough to visit a botanical gardens while in Florida.
Lots of people have asked me, "How can you get so close to bees?" I'm certainly not a beekeeper, but am experienced with bee photography.
Once engrossed in pollen they don't care what goes on around them as long as you don't get in their way. You can get as close as you want without touching and they assume you're a tree or bush and move from flower to flower.
The bright pink/red flowers are of the appropriately named Powder Puff tree. Very pretty, very cool, very Dr. Seuss-ish!
