I'd say #1 natural light, the rest flash. Nice sweat bee Troy. I'm yet to spot one of these beauties. I love their eyes, wonderful. Excellent series, the lighting on the flash shots is certainly acceptable. It's almost impossible to avoid all hotspots from my experience.

edit: the real give away is the background. and the diffraction lighting on the right eye in the first image as well (you typically get this when you don't stop down enough or focus isn't perfect).

2nd edit: slight colour cast on the first image (at least according to my eyes and monitor, doesn't really detract from the image imho) so I couldn't resist having a play in Photoshop. Good practice to do so. One can see the colour cast easiest on the Green stem. I also cropped to what I think is a better cropping size ;-) Hope you don't mind Troy.
