yes, there are honey bees only on the second picture, and on the third picture there are two bumblebee (Bombus sp.) species
Wow!
Beautiful!
There are at least three different species of bees in these photos. The first photo shows Bombus vosnesenskii, the yellow-faced bumblebee. In the second photo there are two honey bees (Apis mellifera) on the left and right, and a bumble bee (Bombus sp. - not sure which species) in the middle. The third photo has the B. vosnesenskii again, plus the unknown bumble. You could break this series into a couple of different spottings and have them more clearly identified that way.
