Honey Bee?

Stopped by a local flower garden today and found loads and loads of these bees making their way around the flowers.

Good captures- #3 is a honey bee the others are dronefly hoverflies which are bee mimics.
Some areas of blown colour in the pics and a bit of motion evident in #3.
Not sure if these are natural strong sun or flash shots ?
