Bees for ID

[Africa]

These are a few June bees/wasps which I have photographed in my garden in Hull.
This is a pair of mating bumblebees that landed within shot distance as I was photographing the Colletes below
I thought they were B. pratorum, but when I looked at the photo, the face of the female looks like of B. hortorum.



A cold Colletes after a shower allowed me some close ups



A Coelioxys male? feeding on sage in my local wildlife garden


A bee on Potentilla (which not many bees visit in my garden). I could just make pollen baskets on legs.



This Nomada bee was flashing its wings near a crack in the concrete in my front path, in the same spot where last year some Andrena nested. This allowed me to get a shot of the abdomen.

Evening A,


The first could be Bombus pratorum, and the second may be from the Halictidae family.

Take care,

Jason

Thank you Jason!

The Nomada looks like a female N. flava... but N. panzeri is a possibility (need to see the colour of the hairs on the lower face)

The Colletes looks like a male C. daviesanus as the thoracic hairs are quite a dull brown. However, again, I can't be certain without microscopic scrutiny

I wouldn't really like to have a go at the others!

Belated thank you eucera, somehow I missed your reply!
