I'd say you dodged the bullet well.  And a testament to the focusing, too.  Do you use autofocus for macros or did you manually focus?

I wrote earlier, of our drive, last Sunday, through the backwoods, single lane, 
dirt Forestry Roads, leading to Brookmere (Pop:  a few permanent residents* ), 
Tulameen (Pop: 250)  and eventually the large town of Princeton (Pop: 2828).

Just short of Brookmere, we stopped for a picnic and I noticed some bees paying 
close attention to a stand of almost-done-for-the-year fireweed plants.  
(Fireweed, btw, is the official flower of the Yukon.)

So, out came the 100-400 PanaLeica.

While not up to the standard of Sonny's recent bee photo, it served to test the 
camera/lens after it's recent "drop-test".

You decide if it still works.

What you see is roughly the center 50% of the original image.
