Bee garden

Took a short drive today around my neighborhood. Found a bee garden. Since the lighting was really, really poor today, I was wondering how high can I go with ISO until it completely ruins the image. Got up to 4000. This pic was taken handheld, with 228mm focal lenght which is 456mm equivalent for full frame.

Unfortunately there was a fence in the way, and AF was not able to focus on the hive so I had to switch to manual focus. And focusing manually on 228mm with no peaking isn't easy, I tell you that. But it actually took two tries to get this image. The other one was just cropped a bit differently.

Yeah, I know.
