Your first one I believe is Volucella pellucens.

Morning Lester,
The second is a Calliphorid, more specifically a Pollenia species. Last is a Syrphid Eristalinus-type.
Take care,
Jason |

Duh, didn't see those nearly obsucre spots. 
The thorax should be showing at least faint stripes, not in this case. It should then be Eristalinus aeneus, a very dark one!
