Smaller than a bee's...

I was out walking yesterday when I came across hundreds of bees all just 'sitting' on this slime by a river bank.
It wasn't until I got back home and had a look at the photos that I realised what they were doing - drinking and/or eating. I don't know if this is common but I thought it was a bit unusual so I thought I'd post the pics.
I had a bit of trouble with the DOF, I dunno if it's my lack of skill or the lens but I struggle to get the focus spot on doing macros at the minimum focusing distance with this lens.
I think this first one is reasonable, the other 2 are a bit bee-low average but they clearly show the tongue.
