All in my garden in Redcar, Cleveland.

No idea on the first, but think 2 may be Garden Bumblebee and 3 possibly Narcissus Hoverfly??

Cheers
Chris.

Agree Narcissus Fly, Merodon equestris. Distinctive amongst bumblebee mimics with all black legs + the loop in wing vein R4+5.

First is Common Carder Bee, Bombus pascuorum + agree second is most likely Garden Bumblebee, B. hortorum.
