That's some impressive magnification. I can see from the EXIF data it was only F/4 which is not a huge amount of depth anyway, and even more of an issue with extreme macro, although in this case more DOF might not have worked that well anyway, as it would be just about impossible to get everything in focus, and concentrating on just a part of the bee seems to work.
With the D-FA 100 which is 1:1, I usually use between F/11 - F/16 to get some depth of field, although I realise focus stacking is the only way to go if I want serious DOF, but that means investing in equipment and software.
