Wonderful series George.
Think your unknown bee is a hoverfly - possibly Cheilosia illustrata.

Wonderful set George.

Not seen a wasp beetle yet this year. Seen plenty of scorpion flies but the darn things are too skittish.

Cheers Lester, lots of scorpion flies around as you say, more than I've seen in late spring before.
