Hi Urifah: I recommend that you place the third picture as separate spotting as it looks like a different sort of bee. Unfortunately I cannot find at the moment a more accurate ID. Perhaps you can ask for help to the rangers bayucca or S Frazier. They know a lot more about insects in your area. Good luck!
For the cuckoo bee I add here below the information in wikipedia. Since it is a parasitic bee, is likely not a honey-maker.
