A good ai macro lens or a good af-d macro are great options if or when you go to get a macro lens!

I'm may be looking at some older manual lenses for a macro lens, but it's not that high on my lens priority list.

Nice photo.

Some (maybe undesired) advice: if it is a crop, try to re-cut it until the bee is at about a third. If it isn't a crop try a 16:9 (9:16) format centering the bee and flower in it. You might like the result.

It was a crop maybe I should have just left it as it was

You can crop some of the original. The problem with the previous was too much emptiness at the one side which makes me think of birthday cards.

But hey, my taste need not be everyone's taste.

I agree with the other posts -- good image, but needs crop to accentuate the attention. Feeling bold today, here is a quick 4:3 to your original, but others might vary the proportions to their own taste

That directly makes for a whole different photo.

I'm anal about it, at least when it comes to my own. Composition always comes first. I prefer not to but if needed I'll crop to get a good enough composition but if I ain't in there, the photo inevitably ends up in the bin.

I have noticed the quality of my pictures after upload to this site are poor. I know for a fact on both of my computers and printing some out the quality is great.
