Visiting Melilotus albus.

I think I finally have a verifiable Triepeolus lunatus, but please correct if I'm wrong.

In the first photo, the subject bee of this observation is on the left. To see better pictures of the bee on the right, see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/140022321

Visiting Melilotus albus.

I should perhaps leave this at Epeolini, as I don't know the possibilities. I never did get a clear shot of T1, although you can see hints. Note, however, that the white hair lines on either side of the midline of the scutum either barely join (or perhaps are very narrowly disconnected from) the white collar. This is not a pattern I've seen before.

This bee had a brief interaction with at least one other similar bee (but that one at least seems to fit a classic T. lunatus pattern): see https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/140022319

Visiting Cicuta maculata.
A male, I think. It has just a tiny yellow spot on the side of T1, then apical bands on T2-T6. Scutellum and metanotum with yellow bars, propodeum entirely black. Yellow spots on pronotal collar have an interesting shape. Help?
