Male
Remember that it is always a good idea to add the sex info if you have it.
Easy to confuse with a wasp; this species doesn't have pollen collecting equipment so it carries pollen in its crop.

bee
A little lapse of memory on my part. I marked the first photo and then promptly forgot about the other two. They now have also been marked as male.

Not wasp
Male yellow-faced bee, genus Hylaeus, family Colletidae. Nice shots.
