Hello Val,
I'm not up to speed on the smaller species of Bee but your picture no's 3 is a specimen of 'Fly' (Diptera) not Hymenoptera. A glance at the large eyes and the short antennae gave it away before enlarging the pictures.

Val | Hello Val,
Your correct, it was pic 4. I claim immunity due to galloping old age and mental instability as the cause of my error. lol.
