Beautiful photos ! It's amazing how different all the species of bee look. At a quick glance, those ones have abdomens that look a bit like wasps or hoverflies.
Where we are, we get a lot of what I call "monastery bees" because they live up at the monastery, looked after by the monks. They've got fuzzier abdomens that are more rounded at the ends. We've also got lots of bumblebees; I try to count how many species we see each year, it's usually 5-6 different types. They are super-mellow, some even let me stroke them if I'm gentle 😀
These guys here are Apis mellifera scutellata or the African honey bee, hardy and aggressive, at least by reputation. I have found that unless you go purposefully messing with them, they tend to be chilled. Though when they are angry, they are angry! They swarm and it is rather scary.
