This is a simple example of manually pre-focusing. People often ask why would you use manual focus? My answer is for several reasons. If you have ever tried to photograph something in the sky, for instance, and the camera just "searches" for something to lock the focus on. Or when shooting close up subjects using a tripod and none of the focus brackets line up where you want them. In this case with the Bumble Bee, I was using a tripod and after observing a popular path I simply set the camer/lens on manual focus and then pre-focused on the leaf at the top of the image. Then it is just a matter of bee-ing patient (sorry, couldn't resist) and waiting for the subject to cross the path.
