Stacking Hand Held

I was wondering whether anyone has tried stacking handheld? I shoot mostly fast moving or hyperactive insects like bees or wasps, but I am not always happy about the DOF. Occasionally they may sit still for 4-5 seconds, so I thought, why not try focus stacking? I was wondering how many shots it takes to get full DOF of a subject such as a honeybee? is there a specific technique to simulate the movements of a rail on a tripod head? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Charles
