| | | Few bombus & 1 fly for ID
Me again! I feel like I'm always here asking for ID's. I'm trying to learn, so hopefully these will just be verification as opposed to being completely and hopelessly wrong  I've 2 bombus species for ID and 1 unknown type of fly. The top two are of the same bee from different angles. All taken in our south wales garden today 20th of May. Thanks everyone for your time and patience while I learn!
Bombus Hortorum - Garden Bumblebee?  
Bombus Pratorum - Early Bumblebee? 
Fly?  |

Bombus hortorum worker, correct! Note the species name doesn't have a capital.
Bombus pratorum male, correct!
Last is a sawfly.
