Default Glue for Metal Embellishments?

I found some cute little metal and crystal bees that I thought would be fun to embellish floral cards with. What type of glue would be best? Unfortunately they do not have flat backs.

I noticed this week that Dollar Tree sells this in various sizes and quantities, including very small tubes, a bit larger than super glues.

I use gel medium. It will fill in the back and glue the piece on.

Silicone gel glues such as Pinflair have a long drying time but are great for things like this. I keep a small syringe ready to use securely wrapped in a small bag to be as airtight as possible and usually get it all used up before it starts setting in the syringe.

Gorilla Glue would work. I'm a big fan of E-600, but even the tiny tube seem to dry up before I use it all. Gorilla Glue has a longer life once opened.
