Not sure Image 3 is a bee? But help needed to ID all three please, including 1&2 as lookalikes, all taken on Pussy Willow in the garden.

Probably worth you looking up the differences between bees & hoverflies as none of these is a bee! All are Eristalis droneflies; the last is a convincing E. pertinax.

Thanks for this aeshna5. I seem to be able to always rely on you.
