Number 6 is a Sawfly, probably an Arge species.

And I think number 4 is a Lesser Stag Beetle Dorcus parallelipipedus

#1 a worn Bombus rupestris male

#3 worn Bombus lapidarius male

#5 Vespula germanica probably worker

#7 worn Apis mellifera, Honey bee by the looks

And why are all the Hymenoptera given odd numbers?!

Wow! Impressive id PS Loved all the bees in the bees/hoverflies in the garden this year.

No 7 is a leafcutter bee of some sorts (Megachile sp.), honey bees don't have the abdominal hair bands that this insect has.

I thought there was something strange about the abdomen! I have had honey bees with hairy abdomens but you are correct of course. I haven't seen a Megachile for a long time now. The eyes sort of looked hairy but that's pobably not so.
