Gorgeous!
I’ve been trying to catch a been on camera all summer but no such luck. Maybe Latvian bees are slower?
I think it’s the flower that matters -- some flowers keep bees busy for a while, like hollyhocks or poppies or sunflowers, while dandelions keep them only for a moment before they flit off.

I have it on good authority that Latvian bees are not slower, and they would like you to cooommme heerrrree aaannnnd zeeeeeee ffoooorrr yourrrrzzeeeellllfffff.
Actually, it was just one of those bee-days -- sunny and windless, plus the poppies were out in full force in the rose garden, so they had a lot of incentive to stick around and be busy. Plus they’re the neighbour’s bees, it’s not like they’re in a hurry to be anywhere else. :) In the third photo (the crowd shot!) there’s six of them in the one poppy: so there’s lots to keep them busy.
(1) Glue.
(2) On camera? Consider on flower.
(3) Above suggestions also work for bees as well as beens, albeit with bees, you can use a stale snail.
The last is my favourite. The macro picture show just how hairy honey bees are, having a fur vest on the thorax and those hairs around the eyes.
A been is a tired German bee speaking English?
(Bee is Biene in German, so “been” is about halfway between the English and German word.)
They’re cuddly!
Been there done that.
