Beautiful, love the bumblebee in flight! I would crop some off the top, maybe even some off the sides and bottom to put the flowers and bee more in frame/in focus.

Hellooooo
Yes, I would crop the picture;
...and I agree with everyone's suggestions on how to crop it if you would prefer to keep the same angle, that the lens of the camera was at, of when you originally took the photograph.
But do not be afraid to experiment with crop angles. The experimentation may give you unexpected pleasant results?
----------
Let me try to show you what I mean...
If you crop the image keeping the original lens angle (orientation), and keeping it at the same image ratio (you supplied us with an image that is 2000 x 1500 pixels), then the cropped image at the same ratio will be 1500 x 1125 pixels.
The following image shows you how I change the lens orientation, keeping the same ratio, and how the image is almost exactly the same size, so you are not losing any more definition than if you were to crop it keeping the original lens angle.
The following image shows my reasoning on how I finalised this particular crop. I wanted to keep all the roses in the picture while trying to make the bee the focal point. I orientated it with the stem of the rose bud on the right, keeping the heart of the foreground rose centred, with the heart of the back rose on the vertical third.
The following image is my final result for this above crop...
But I was not entirely happy with this crop so I experimented some more, orientating the image to the angle of the wings on the bee. Unfortunately I lost some pixel definition, but not by much.
The following image shows my reasoning on how I finalised this particular crop. Again I wanted to keep all the roses in the picture, but I think I succeeded more with this crop, in making the bee the focal point? Along with the bees wings, I also orientated the crop with the stem of the second rose bud from the lefthand side, and the bee is placed on both the horizontal and vertical third, pointing its legs down. The heart of the open rose in the foreground is once again centred.
The following image is my final result for this above crop. I think this might be my personal favourite crop.
I also experimented with a landscape orientation, keeping the same ratio, but I was not happy with any of the results.
I would like to reiterate that I have come to realise that one can sacrifice some definition for better visual appear. Consider that these days the majority of images are viewed on computer screens, and definition does not count as much as first impressions. In my humble opinion, rather make your pictures as dynamic and interesting as possible. For me it is not the resolution quality of your picture, but how you present your final image.
Have fun editing!
